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.

Analysis

Background: DPPII/QPP/DPP7
Dipeptidyl-peptidase II (DPPII) is identical to quiescent cell proline dipeptidase (QPP) and dipeptidylpeptidase 7 (DPP7) (1, 2). It shares some substrate and cleavage specificity with DPPIV/CD26, DPP8, DPP9 and seprase/FAP (fibroblast activation protein), members of the S09 family of serine proteases. As prolyl proteases that cleave proteins and peptides after proline residues, these enzymes have high potential for drug discovery (3, 4). However, DPP7 is not a member of the S09 family, but a member of the S28 family that also includes lysosomal Pro‑X carboxypeptidase/prolylcarboxypeptidase/PRCP and thymus-specific serine peptidase/PRSS16 (2). The human DPP7 precursor consists of a signal peptide (aa 1‑21) and a mature chain (aa 22‑492). The purified rhDPP7 is active against Lys‑Pro-AMC and Lys‑Ala-AMC. Its activity against Lys‑Pro‑AMC is approximately 10-fold of that against Lys‑Ala‑AMC under otherwise identical conditions.
