Merck, PF023-5UGCN, MMP-2, Active, Human, Recombinant, Mouse Cells

Full-length, recombinant, human pro-MMP-2 expressed in mouse cells that is subsequently activated by APMA. APMA is removed through a desalting column. The substrate specificity for MMP-2 includes collagen (types IV, V, VII, and X), elastin, and gelatin (type I). The presence of TIMP-2 inhibitor prevents degradation of the MMP-2 C-terminal regulatory domain. TIMP-2 is also an inhibitor of proteolysis and will inhibit the activity of the enzyme. Useful for immunoblotting, substrate cleavage assay and zymography.
