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
  • Activation Buffer: 50 mM Sodium Citrate, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.615% CHAPS, pH 3.0
  • Assay Buffer: 25 mM MES, 5 mM DTT, pH 6.0
  • Recombinant Mouse Cathepsin L (rmCathepsin L) (Catalog # 1515-CY)
  • Substrate: Z-Leu-Arg-AMC (Catalog # ES008), 10 mM stock in DMSO
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Activate rmCathepsin L at 100 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Incubate at room temperature for 60 minutes.
  3. Dilute activated rmCathepsin L to 0.05 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute Substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
  5. In a plate load 50 µL of 0.05 ng/µL rmCathepsin L to wells, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing of 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate.
  6. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
  7. 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 (AMC) (Sigma, Catalog # A-9891)

Per Well:
  • rmCathepsin L: 0.0025 µg
  • Substrate: 10 µM

Background: Cathepsin L

Cathepsin L is a lysosomal cysteine protease expressed in most eukaryotic cells. Cathepsin L is known to hydrolyze a number of proteins, including the proform of urokinase‑type plasminogen activator, which is activated by Cathepsin L cleavage (1). Cathepsin L has also been shown to proteolytically inactivate alpha 1-antitrypsin and secretory leucoprotease inhibitor, two major protease inhibitors of the respiratory tract (2). These observations, combined with the demonstration of increased Cathepsin L activity in the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs of emphysema patients, have led to the suggestion that the enzyme may be involved in the progression of this disease. Cathepsin L has also been identified as a major excreted protein of transformed fibroblasts, indicating the enzyme could be involved in malignant tumor growth (3). In Cathepsin L‑deficient mice, it appears to play a critical role in cardiac morphology and function, epidermal homeostasis, regulation of the hair cycle, and MHC class II‑mediated antigen presentation in cortical epithelial cells of the thymus (4, 5). Mouse Cathepsin L is synthesized as a 334 amino acid precursor with a signal peptide (residues 1‑17), a pro region (residues 18‑113) and a mature chain (residues 114‑334).
