Product Datasheets

Carrier Free

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.

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: OSMR beta

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines that share the gp130 as a common signal transducing receptor subunit. Human OSM signals through two types of human OSM receptor complexes: the type I complex comprising the leukemia inhibitory factor receptor beta (LIF R beta ) and gp130, the type II complex made up of OSM receptor beta (OSM R beta ) and gp130. In contrast, mouse OSM signals only through the mouse OSM R beta and gp130 complex. Mouse OSM R beta cDNA encodes a 971 amino acid (aa) residue type I transmembrane protein which contains a 23 aa residue signal peptide, an extracellular domain of 714 aa, a transmembrane domain of 20 aa and a 214 aa cytoplasmic domain. Mouse OSM R beta alone binds mOSM with low-affinity, but forms a high-affinity binding complex in the presence of gp130. Mouse OSM R beta is 55% identical at the amino acid sequence level to human OSM R beta.
