Active Recombinant Human MMP2 protein

• Cat.No.: MMP2-201H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human MMP2 was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: MMP-2 belongs to a family of endoproteases which need calcium and zinc in order to exert their catalytic capability (extracellular matrix remodeling). The elevated expression of these enzymes has been linked to many degenerative disorders, such as arthritis, cancer metastasis and skeletal growth-plate disorders. It has been shown that MMP-2 associates with many connective tissue cells as well as neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes.
• Form: Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in Tris, CaCl2, NaCl and Brij­35
• Bio-activity: The ED (50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of immortalized human pulmonary fibroblasts cells and was found to be <0.05ng/mL.
• Molecular Mass: 62.0 kDa
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: 95%
• Applications: Cell Assay
• Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70 centigrade. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 centigrade- 8 centigrade for one month, or at -20 centigrade for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
