MMP9 (W680) pAb detects endogenous levels of MMP9 protein.
Applications:
WB, IHC, IF
Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat
Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide, corresponding to amino acids 650-700 of Human MMP9.
Host:
Rabbit
Clonality:
Polyclonal
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
Molecular Weight:
~ 92 kDa
Purity:
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
Product Form:
1 mg/ml in Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05% sodium azide, approx. pH 7.2.
Target
Function:
May play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.
Tissue Specificity:
Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
Involvement in Disease:
Intervertebral disc disease: A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain.
Metaphyseal anadysplasia 2: A bone development disorder characterized by skeletal anomalies that resolve spontaneously with age. Clinical characteristics are evident from the first months of life and include slight shortness of stature and a mild varus deformity of the legs. Patients attain a normal stature in adolescence and show improvement or complete resolution of varus deformity of the legs and rhizomelic micromelia.
Sequence Similarities:
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Post-Translational Modification:
Processing of the precursor yields different active forms of 64, 67 and 82 kDa. Sequentially processing by MMP3 yields the 82 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9.
Cellular Location:
Secreted > Extracellular space > Extracellular matrix.
