Active Recombinant Human MMP15 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MMP15-608H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human MMP15(Glu47-Pro565) fused with His tag at C-terminal was expressed in NS0.

Specification

• Description: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. They play critical roles in tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, tumor invasion, and rheumatoid arthritis. MMP-15, also known as MT2-MMP, is a membrane-type MMP that is expressed in many tumor tissues including urothelial carcinoma, oral cancer, ovarian carcinoma, melanoma, and astrocytoma. Structurally, MMP-15 consists of the following domains:a pro domain containing a furin cleavage site, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, a hinge region, a hemopexin-like domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Recombinant Human (rh) MMP-15, consists of the pro domain, catalytic domain, hinge region and hemopexin-like domain. The pro domain contains the mutations R128P and R129G, which prevent activation by furin cleavage. Activation of rhMMP-15 is possible by treatment with rhTrypsin 3 as described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
