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.

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: GGT5

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-5 (GGT5) is expressed as a pro form, which undergoes autocatalytic cleavage in the endoplasmic reticulum to become the two chain mature form (1). The mature form of GGT is a membrane protein embedded into the outer surface of the plasma membrane through its N-terminal transmembrane domain. It cleaves the gamma-glutamyl peptide bond of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione S-conjugates and transfers the g-glutamyl moiety to acceptors (2). By breaking down extracellular GSH into its constitutive amino acids, its activity is critical for maintaining GSH and cysteine homeostasis. GGT1 and GGT5 are the most fully characterized members of the GGT family (2). Elevated activity of GGT1 in blood has been used to measure liver damage such as that found in hepatocellular carcinoma or alcoholic liver (3). GGT5, also known as g-glutamyl leukotrienase (GGL), may play an important role in leukotriene D4 synthesis and in inflammatory processes.
