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 NaOAc, 1.0 M NaCl, 0.05% Brij-35 (w/v), pH 3.0
  • Recombinant Mouse BACE-2 (rmBACE-2) (Catalog # 2977-AS)
  • Substrate: MCA-Lys-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-DPA-Ala-Arg-NH2 (Catalog # ES010)
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rmBACE-2 to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load 50 µL of the 2 ng/µL rmBACE-2 in a plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 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 MCA-Pro-Leu-OH (Bachem, Catalog # M-1975).

Per Well:
  • rmBACE-2: 0.1 µg
  • Substrate: 10 µM

Background: BACE-2

BACE-2 is an aspartic protease that shares sequence similarity with BACE-1, the major beta ‑secretase for generation of A beta peptide in neurons (1). However, BACE-2 differs from BACE-1 in several aspects including pro-enzyme activation, substrate binding sites, transcriptional regulation, and function in A beta peptide production (2‑4). The domain structure of mouse BACE-2 consists of a signal peptide (aa 1‑19), pro (aa 20‑62) and a mature chain (aa 63‑514) that consists of a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail. The C‑terminal region (aa 463‑514) was replaced by a His tag in the Recombinant Mouse BACE-2 that also contained a His residue at the position of Tyr357. The purified rmBACE-2 started at Ala63, the same residue shown at the N-terminus of the human active BACE-2 (2).
