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: 25 mM Tris, 50 mM CaCl2, 0.2 M NaCl, pH 8.0
  • Recombinant Human Aminopeptidase A/ENPEP (rhENPEP) (Catalog # 2499-ZN)
  • Substrate: Glu-AMC (Bachem, Catalog # I-1180), 10 mM stock in 30 mM HCl
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhENPEP to 0.4 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate Glu-AMC to 200 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load into plate 50 µL of 0.4 ng/µL rhENPEP, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL of Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm, 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 7-amino, 4-Methyl Coumarin (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891).

Per Well:
  • rhENPEP: 0.020 μg
  • Substrate: 100 µM

Background: Aminopeptidase A/ENPEP

The human ENPEP gene encodes aminopeptidase A (APA), which is also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase (EAP), aspartate aminopeptidase, angiotensinase A, Ca2+-activated glutamate aminopeptidase, membrane aminopeptidase II and the BP-1/6C3 antigen (1). The various names reflect its substrate specificity (with a preference for Glu, Asp and angiotensin II as one of the physiological substrates), Ca2+-dependence, cellular location (type II membrane protein) and immunological reactivity to the antibody BP-1/6C3. The deduced amino acid sequence of human ENPEP consists of a short cytoplasmic tail (residues 1 to 17), a transmembrane region (residues 18 to 40), and a long ectodomain (residues 41 to 957) (2, 3). In addition to the N-terminal zinc metalloprotease domain, the ectodomain also contains the C-terminal region, which functions as an intramolecular chaperone required for the correct folding, cell surface expression and activity (4). The purified recombinant human ENPEP consists of the entire ectodomain and is active in the assay as described in Activity Assay Protocol.
