Carrier Free
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.
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
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM Potassium Phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 6.0
- Recombinant Human SPR His-tag (rhSPR) (Catalog # 10209-SP)
- Substrate: 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone (PQ) (Sigma, Catalog # 156507), 5 mM stock in N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF)
- beta -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced, tetrasodium salt ( beta -NADPH) (Sigma, Catalog# N7505), 10 mM stock in deionized water
- 96-well clear plate (Catalog # DY990)
- Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhSPR to 10 µg/mL in Assay Buffer.
- Prepare Substrate Mixture containing 200 µM PQ and 800 µM beta -NADPH in Assay Buffer.
- Load 50 µL of 10 µg/mL rhSPR into a plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of Substrate Mixture. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of Substrate Mixture.
- Read at an absorbance of 340 nm, respectively, in kinetic mode of 5 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = | Adjusted Vmax* (OD/min) x well volume (L) x 1012 pmol/mol x -1 |
| ext. coeff** (M-1cm-1) x path corr.*** (cm) x amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Using the extinction coefficient 6270 M-1cm-1
***Using the path correction 0.32 cm
Note: the output of many spectrophotometers is in mOD
- rhSPR: 0.5 µg
- PQ: 100 µM
- beta -NADPH: 400 µM

Background: SPR
Sepiapterin reductase (SPR) catalyzes the biosynthesis of tetra-hydrobiopterin (BH4), an important cofactor in aromatic amino acid metabolism and key regulator of nitric oxide biosynthesis which relates the BH4 cofactor to many pathophysiological processes (1, 2). SPR has additionally been shown to be efficient at mediating chemical redox cycling of quinones and herbicides through a mechanism distinct from sepiapterin reduction (3). SPR is an NADPH-dependent, cytoplasmic enzyme classified as a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family based on its structural catalytic domain and NADPH binding motifs (4). SPR forms an active homodimer where each monomer contains a key c-terminal asparagine required for activity (3) in addition to the conserved catalytic triad that serves to stabilize protein structure while maintaining cofactor and substrate proximity in a catalytic site composed of several hydrophobic amino acids (4-6). SPR contains the conserved NADPH binding motif at the N-terminus (4-6). SPR has broad tissue expression (7). Identified human mutations in SPR result in compromised production of biopterin cofactor and are associated with neurological deficits (8, 9) linked to dystonia (8, 10). Knockout in mice likewise results in reduced neurotransmitters and movement disorders (11). Loss of BH4 can also reduce nitric oxide production leading to alterations in cardiac function and inflammation (2). SPR has been pharmacologically targeted to reduce pathologically elevated BH4 for pain management (12, 13) and to regulate T-cell function in pathological diseases and tumor growth (14).
