Recombinant Human Pro-matrix metallopeptidase 9, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Pro-MMP9-109H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Pro-MMP-9 comprises a 688aa fragment (20-707) corresponding to the pro form of the protein minus the signal peptide and is expressed in E. coli with an N-terminal 6xHis tag.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 20-707 a.a.
• Description: Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc- and calcium-dependant endopeptidases, which degrade extracellular matrix proteins. MMP-9 is secreted as a 92kDa zymogen. Cleavage of pro-MMP-9 results in the active enzyme with a molecular weight of ~82kDa. MMP-9 has a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, a proline-rich type V collagen-homologous domain and a hemopexin-like domain. MMP9 is produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, osteoclasts and endothelial cells, and is involved in inflammatory responses, tissue remodelling, wound healing, tumour growth and metastasis.
