Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

MMPs have a common mode of activation, a conserved amino acid sequence in the putative metal-binding active site region, and are inhibited by specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). These MMPs and TIMPs could be expressed by either the cancer or the stromal cells. There is a cooperation between tumor and stromal cells, in particular for the production of 72-kD type IV collagenase, involved in the disruption of basement membranes. A lack of TIMP-1 expression from invasive cancer cells could also contribute to matrix destruction.

Spezifität

MAB13431 recognizes proteins of 72kDa and ~66kDa which are identified as pro (latent) and active forms of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; also known as 72kDa collagenase IV or gelatinase A). CHEMICON MAB-13431 shows no cross-reaction with pro and active forms of other MMPs.

CELLULAR LOCALIZATION:

Cytoplasmic.

Immunogen

Epitope: pro and active form

Human APMA-activated native 72kDa Gelatinase A.
