Extra Details:: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are Zn(2+)-binding endopeptidases that degrade various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The MMPs are enzymes implicated in normal and pathologic tissue remodeling processes, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion. MMPs have different substrate specificities and are encoded by different genes. Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MMP14) may be an activator of pro-gelatinase A (MMP2) and is expressed in fibroblast cells during both wound healing and human cancer progression. Survivin, MMP2, MMP9, and MMP14 mRNA expression levels in clinically aggressive pigmented lesions were significantly higher than those in normal eutopic endometrium, and survivin gene expression in pigmented lesions was also higher than that in nonpigmented lesions (P less than 0.05). There was a close correlation between survivin and MMP2, MMP9, and MMP14 gene expression levels in 63 endometriotic tissues examined (P less than 0.01). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml Immunohistochemistry (frozen/paraffin): 1-2ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
