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: 50 mM Tris, 250 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM MnCl2, pH 8.0
  • Recombinant Human Aminopeptidase P1/XPNPEP1 (rhXPNPEP1) (Catalog # 2970-ZN)
  • Substrate: Lys(ABZ)Pro-Pro-PNA (Bachem, Catalog # L-1980), 10 mM stock in deionized water
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhXPNPEP1 to 0.5 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  2. Dilute Substrate to 100 µM in Assay Buffer.
  3. Load into plate 50 µL of 0.5 ng/µL of rhXPNPEP1 (25 ng/well), and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 100 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank of 50 μL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 100 µM Substrate.
  4. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 410 nm (top read), 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 Abz-Gly (Bachem, Catalog # E-2920).

Per Well:
  • rhXPNPEP1: 0.025 µg
  • Substrate: 50 µM

Background: Aminopeptidase P1/XPNPEP1

The human XPNPEP1 gene encodes aminopeptidase P1 (APP1), which is also known as X-prolyl aminopeptidase with gene aliases of SAMP, XPNPEP, XPNPEPL, and XPNPEPL1 (1‑3). It is a member of the M24 family of metalloproteases, which also contains methionine aminopeptidases, X-Pro dipeptidase, aminopeptidase P2, aminopeptidase P homolog, proliferation-associated protein 1, and suppressor of Ty homolog or chromatin-specific transcription elongation factor large subunit (4). It is a soluble enzyme, in contrast to the GPI-anchored APP2 encoded by XPNPEP2 (5). Human APP1 is widely expressed (3). The purified rhAPP1 is an active aminopeptidase, removing a N‑terminal amino acid from a peptide that contains a Pro residue at the second position. The amino acid sequence of human APP1 is 99%, 97%, 95%, 74% and 73% identical to that of canine, bovine, mouse/rat, Xenopus and zebrafish, respectively.
