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\n72 kDa gelatinase; 72 kDa type IV collagenase; CLG4; CLG4A; collagenase type IV-A; Gelatinase A; matrix metallopeptidase 2; matrix metallopeptidase 2 (gelatinase A, 72kDa gelatinase, 72kDa type IV collagenase); Matrix metalloproteinase-2; matrix metalloproteinase-II; MMP-2; MMP-II; MMP2; MONA; neutrophil gelatinase; PEX; TBE-1\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 64,72\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799482421417,"sku":"40994T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-40994t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
