Native Human MMP-9

• Cat.No.: MMP9-38H
• Product Overview: Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Dimer (MMP-9, Gelatinase B, 92-kDa Type IV Collagenase, EC 3.4.24.35). Prepared from human serum certified to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.

Specification

• Source: Human neutrophil granulocytes (Buffy Coat)
• Species: Human
• Form: Liquid, in 50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.0, 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl2, 1 μM ZnCl2, 0.05% NaN3, 0.05% Brij 35
• Purity: >95%, homogenous by electrophoresis and Western Blotting analysis
• Unit Definition: The specific activity can be assayed with the synthetic substrate N-(2,4)-dinitrophenyl-Pro-Gln-Gly-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln-D-Arg (Dnp-petide) (Masui et al. 1977). One unit MMP catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1 μmol Dnp peptide/min at 37°C and pH 7.0.
• Storage: The enzyme is very stable if kept at -80°C. Nevertheless repeated freezing and thawing must be avoided.
• Tag: Non
