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: Neuregulin-1 Isoform SMDF
The heregulin (also known as neuregulin) family of cytokines is comprised of multiple secreted or membrane-bound isoforms that are produced from the single heregulin gene by alternative splicing and/or usage of different promoters. All heregulin family members share an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain ( alpha - or beta -variant) that interacts with the erbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors. NRG1 Isoform SMDF is a heregulin isoform containing a C-terminal EGF-like domain ( beta -variant) and a unique N-terminal sequence that lacks an Ig-like domain which is present in all other known heregulins. NRG1 Isoform SMDF also lacks a transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic tail. NRG1 Isoform SMDF expression has been found to be restricted to the nervous system. It is likely that NRG1 Isoform SMDF may play an important role in neural-specific functions.
