Recombinant Mouse MMP-9 (C-10His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Mouse MMP-9 (C-10His) protein,aslo know as Matrix metalloproteinase-9,MMP-9,92 kDa gelatinase,92 kDa type IV collagenase,Gelatinase B,GELB, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Mouse Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala20-Pro730 is expressed with a 10His tag at the C-terminus.The proenzyme needs to be activated by APMA for an activated form.Accession:P41245. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Mouse.Predicted Molecular Mass:80.2 KDa. Background:Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 (gelatinase B) can degrade a broad range of substrates including gelatin, collagen types IV and V, elastin and proteoglycan core protein. It is believed to act synergistically with interstitial collagenase (MMP1) in the degradation of fibrillar collagens as it degrades their denatured gelatin forms. MMP-9 is produced by keratinocytes, monocytes, macrophages and PMN leukocytes. MMP-9 is present in most cases of inflammatory responses. Structurally, MMP-9 may be divided into five distinct domains: a prodomain which is cleaved upon activation, a gelatinbinding domain consisting of three contiguous fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site, a prolinerich linker region, and a carboxyl terminal hemopexinlike domain.
