Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP9) detection. Tested with WB in Human.
Background: Matrix metallopeptidase 9(MMP-9), also known as 92 kDa type IV collagenase, 92 kDa gelatinase or gelatinase B(GELB), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP9 gene. Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase(MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes. Most MMPs 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
