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.

Background: Trypsin 3/PRSS3

Human Trypsin 3, encoded by the PRSS3 gene, is also known as mesotrypsin (1). Constituting less than 10% of the total trypsin content in normal pancreatic juice, it is one of the three trypsin isoforms produced by the pancreas (2). Compared to Trypsin 1 and 2, one intriguing feature of Trypsin 3 is its resistance to polypeptide trypsin inhibitors, such as the Kunitz-type soybean trypsin inhibitor or the Kazal-type pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor. As revealed by the crystal structure, this resistance is likely due to the presence of an arginine residue in place of the highly conserved Gly198 (3). Trypsin 3 is synthesized in the pancreas and secreted into the duodenum lumen, where it is activated by enterokinase. One physiologic function of Trypsin 3 has been proposed to be degradation of trypsin inhibitors, which facilitates the digestion of those foods rich in these proteins (4).
