Applications Description:
Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1-2 ?g/ml) and immunohistochemistry on formlin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections (1-5 ?g/ml). Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
Background:
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. MMP-2 (also designated type IV collagenase) cleaves Collagen Types IV, V, VII and X and gelatin type I. Activation of MMP-2 secretion requires the Ras signaling pathway.
