Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nThe matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteases that target many extracellular proteins including other proteases, growth factors, cell surface receptors, and adhesion molecules (1). Among the family members, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-9 have been characterized as important factors for normal tissue remodeling during embryonic development, wound healing, tumor invasion, angiogenesis, carcinogenesis, and apoptosis (2-4). Research studies have shown that MMP activity correlates with cancer development (2). One mechanism of MMP regulation is transcriptional (5). Once synthesized, MMP exists as a latent proenzyme. Maximum MMP activity requires proteolytic cleavage to generate active MMPs by releasing the inhibitory propeptide domain from the full-length protein (5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n67 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9; 82 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9; 92 kDa gelatinase; 92 kDa type IV collagenase; CLG4B; Gelatinase B; GELB; macrophage gelatinase; MANDP2; matrix metallopeptidase 9; matrix metallopeptidase 9 (gelatinase B, 92kDa gelatinase, 92kDa type IV collagenase); matrix metalloproteinase 9 (gelatinase B, 92kDa gelatinase, 92kDa type IV collagenase); Matrix metalloproteinase-9; MMP-9; MMP9; type V collagenase\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 84, 92\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799463612585,"sku":"3852S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3852s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
