Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Assay Procedure

Materials
  • Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 0.01% (v/v) Tween® 20, pH 8.5
  • Recombinant Human u‑Plasminogen Activator (uPA)/Urokinase (rhuPA)  (Catalog # 1310-SE)
  • Substrate: Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC (Bachem, Catalog # I-1140), 10 mM stock in DMSO
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhuPA to 1 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 200 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load 50 µL of the 1 ng/µL rhuPA into a black well plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate without any rhuPA.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  5. Calculate specific activity:

     Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

 Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
amount of enzyme (µg)

     *Adjusted for Substrate Blank
     **Derived using calibration standard 7-amino, 4-Methyl Coumarin (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891)

Per Well:
  • rhuPA: 0.05 µg
  • Substrate: 100 µM

Background: u-Plasminogen Activator (uPA)/Urokinase

uPA is a serine protease with an extremely limited substrate specificity, cleaving the sequence Cys-Pro-Gly-Arg560-Val561-Val-Gly-Gly-Cys in plasminogen to form plasmin (1). uPA is a potent marker of invasion and metastasis in a variety of human cancers associated with breast, stomach, colon, bladder, ovary, brain and endometrium (2). For example, the combination (both low vs. either or both high) of uPA and its inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), outperforms the single factors as well as other traditional prognostic factors with regard to risk group assessment for breast cancer, particularly in node-negative breast cancer (3). The human uPA is initially synthesized as 431 amino acid precursor with a N-terminal signal peptide (20 residues) (4‑6). The single chain molecule is processed into a disulfide-linked two-chain molecule. The B chain starting at Ile179 corresponds to the catalytic domain. Two forms of the A chain exist, one starting at Ser21 (the long form) and the other at Lys156 (the short form). The resulting two-chain forms have different molecular weights (MW). The B chain is common for both forms whereas the long and short A chains are unique to the high and low MW forms, respectively. The long A chain contains an EGF-like domain, which is responsible for binding of the uPA receptor (uPAR). Both high and low MW forms exist in the purified recombinant human uPA.

FAQs

  1. Has R&D Systems examined the binding ability of 1310-SE to uPAR?

    • In house, we measured the bioactivity of 1310-SE based on its ability to cleave the Z-GGR-AMC peptide substrate. While we did not measure the binding ability in this assay, we do offer the Recombinant Human uPAR Protein (Catalog # 807-UK), which has been tested in a functional ELISA binding assay with 1310-SE. We have found that the 1310-SE protein is able to bind to uPAR through this testing.
