Active Recombinant Human MMP9 Q279R Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MMP9-005H
• Product Overview: Active recombinant human MMP9 Q279R protein (20-707) with a C-terminal His tag was expressed in HEK293 cells.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 20-707
• Description: Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling.
• Bio-activity: Activation: This is a proform enzyme and requires activation prior to testing activity. Dilute the enzyme to 100 ng/mL in a solution containing 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.05% Brij-35, and 1mM APMA (amino-phenyl mercuric acetate). Incubate at 37 centigrade for 2 hours.
