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: Prostasin/Prss8
Prostasin, also known as channel activating protease 1, is a serine protease with trypsin-like substrate specificity (1, 2). The preproenzyme possesses a C-terminal membrane-spanning domain that can be proteolytically processed to generate a secreted form of the enzyme. The secreted form of Prostasin has been purified from seminal fluid (2). Prostasin is highly expressed in the prostate gland, and is expressed at lower levels in the lung, kidney, liver, salivary gland, and pancreas (3). The peptidase activity of Prostasin is involved in the regulation of epithelial sodium channels (4, 5).
