Product Information

Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol, and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Protocol

Specificity / Sensitivity

MMP-9 (E7N3Y) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total MMP-9 protein. This antibody detects both mature MMP-9 (84 kDa) and proMMP-9 (full-length 92 kDa).

Species Reactivity:

Mouse, Rat

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein fragment specific to the amino terminus of mouse MMP-9 protein.

Background

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteases that target many extracellular proteins including other proteases, growth factors, cell surface receptors, and adhesion molecules (1). Among the family members, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-9 have been characterized as important factors for normal tissue remodeling during embryonic development, wound healing, tumor invasion, angiogenesis, carcinogenesis, and apoptosis (2-4). Research studies have shown that MMP activity correlates with cancer development (2). One mechanism of MMP regulation is transcriptional (5). Once synthesized, MMP exists as a latent proenzyme. Maximum MMP activity requires proteolytic cleavage to generate active MMPs by releasing the inhibitory propeptide domain from the full-length protein (5).
