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.

Background: Dkk-1

Dickkopf related protein 1 (Dkk-1) is the founding member of the Dickkopf family of proteins that includes Dkk-1, -2, -3, -4, and a related protein, Soggy (1, 2). Mature mouse Dkk-1 is a 40 kDa secreted glycoprotein that consists of two conserved cysteine-rich domains (CRDs), CRD1 (N-terminal) and CRD2 (C-terminal),  separated by a linker region (1, 3). Within the N-terminal fragment [amino acids (aa) 32-144] that includes the CRD1, mouse Dkk-1 shares 98% and 85% aa sequence identity with rat and human Dkk-1, respectively.  Dkk-1 antagonizes Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, an activity for which the C-terminal CRD2 is both necessary and sufficient (4, 5), while the N-terminal CRD1 was required for binding to CKAP4 (6). However, crystallographic studies have shown that Dkk-1 interacts with LRP-6 as a bipartite inhibitor, with both CRDs binding the extracellular domain of LRP-6 simultaneously (3, 7-9). Mechanistically, Dkk-1 has been shown to promote the internalization and degradation of LRP-6, but mouse Dkk-1 may inhibit LRP-6 independently of this process (10, 11). Mice lacking Dkk-1 die at birth, lack anterior head structures, and have limb malformations (12). Accordingly, bone mass in mice has been found to be inversely proportional to Dkk-1 levels (13). Reduced Dkk-1 expression causes head, limb, and vertebrae defects in mice (14). Conversely, transgenic mice that overexpress Dkk-1 develop osteopenia (15). In addition to bone homeostasis, Dkk-1 expression may be required for neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells (16, 17). Dkk-1 also likely has a complex role in cancer, as it has been shown to act as a tumor suppressor and also to promote metastasis (18).
