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: 25 mM MES, 5 mM DTT, pH 5.0
  • Assay Buffer: 25 mM MES, pH 5.0
  • Recombinant Human Cathepsin B (rhCathepsin B) (Catalog # 953-CY)
  • Fluorogenic Peptide Substrate VII: Z-Leu-Arg-AMC (Catalog # ES008)
  • F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
  • Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
  1. Dilute rhCathepsin B to 10 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Dilute rhCathepsin B to 0.2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
  4. Dilute substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
  5. Load 50 µL of the 0.2 ng/µL rhCathepsin B in a black well plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate.  Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate without any rhCathepsin B.
  6. Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 380 nm and 460 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
    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:
  • rhCathepsin B: 0.01 µg
  • Substrate: 10 µM

Background: Cathepsin B

Cathepsin B is the first described member of the family of lysosomal cysteine proteases (1). Cathepsin B possesses both endopeptidase and exopeptidase activities, in the latter case acting as a peptidyl-dipeptidase. It is known to process a number of proteins, including pro and active caspases, prorenin and secretory leucoprotease inhibitor (SLPI) (2 - 4). Therefore, Cathepsin B may play a role in activation and inactivation of caspases, activation of renin and inactivation of SLPI, the key steps in apoptosis, angiotensin production, and progression of emphysema, respectively. Because of its increased levels and redistribution of the enzyme in human and animal tumors, Cathepsin B may also have role in invasion and metastasis (5).

In addition to lysosome, Cathepsin B can be secreted or associated with plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. It is synthesized as a preproenzyme. Following removal of the signal peptide, the inactive proenzyme undergoes further modifications including removal of the pro region to result in the active enzyme (1).
