Description
Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP14), is a membrane-anchored zinc-binding endopeptidase which is expressed at the leading edge of different invasive carcinomas and also promotes tumor cell invasion through degradation of the extracellular matrix. MMP14 takes a vital part in extracellular matrix, ECM, remodeling by having the capability to degrade type I collagen, activate pro-MMP-2 and process cell adhesion molecules for instance CD44 and integrin alpha V. MMP14 is a key enzyme in many physiological as well as pathological processes for example angiogenesis & tumor invasion
Description: Matrix Metalloproteinase-14 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non- glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 264 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 29.6kDa.MMP14 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
