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, 0.05% Brij-35, pH 9.0
Recombinant Human Neprilysin (rhNeprilysin) (Catalog # 1182-ZNC)
Substrate: MCA-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Ala-Phe-Lys(DNP)-OH (Catalog # ES005), Prepare 2 mM stock in DMSO
F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent

Dilute rhNeprilysin to 0.1 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
Dilute fluorogenic peptide Substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
Load in a black well plate 50 µL of 0.1 µg/mL of rhNeprilysin (5 ng/well), and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate. As a Substrate Blank combine 50 µL of Substrate and 50 µL of Assay Buffer.
Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
Calculate specific activity:

Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =	Adjusted V_max* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU)
	amount of enzyme (µg)

*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Derived using calibration standard MCA-Pro-Leu-OH (Bachem, Catalog # M-1975) Per Well:

rhNeprilysin: 0.005 µg
Substrate: 10 µM

Reconstitution Calculator

Background: Neprilysin/CD10

Neprilysin/CD10, also known as NEP and neutral endopeptidase 24.11, is a zinc metallopeptidase expressed at the cell surface of a variety of cells. The enzyme functions both as an endopeptidase with a thermolysin-like specificity and as a dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase. NEP has been shown to be involved in the degradation of enkephalins in the mammalian brain and the inactivation of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (1, 2). NEP has also been identified as the common acute lymphocytic leukemia antigen (CALLA), and is expressed on the surface of lymphocytes in some disease states (3, 4). These and other observations have resulted in considerable interest in NEP as a target for analgesics and antihypertensive drugs. NEP is also a major degrading enzyme of amyloid beta peptide (A beta ) in the brain, indicating that down-regulation of NEP activity, which could be caused by aging, can contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s disease by promoting A beta accumulation (5).
