- Extra Details:
- MMP9 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. Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. Activated by 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate and phorbol ester. Exists as monomer or homodimer, disulfide-linked. Exists also as heterodimer with a 25kD protein. Macrophages and transformed cell lines produce only the monomeric form. Interacts with ECM1. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:500-1:3000 Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:200 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
