Gene Information

human ... MMP2(4313)

Specificity

Recognizes rat MMP-2. Exhibits no cross-reactivity with other MMP family members. The antibody was generated using E. coli-expressed active rat 72 kDa type IV collagenase (catalytic domain) as an immunogen.

Immunoprecipitation: 1:500

MMP-2 [Gelatinase-A] is constitutively produced in quiescent cells and tissues, and the enzyme has a high specific activity against denatured collagen. The low protein levels produced in cell culture (pg/mL) are often below the threshold of detection by standard Western Blotting. The enzyme can be concentrated from culture media by gelatin-agarose affinity chromatography (Goldberg, 1992) or immunoprecipitation. This can prevent appearance of a spurious band of antibody binding in the vicinity of 68 kDa displayed by some concentrated media.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are traditionally known for their role in extracellular matrix remodeling. Increasing evidence reveals several alternative substrates and novel biological roles for these proteases. Recent evidence showed the intracellular localization of MMP-2 within cardiac myocytes, colocalized with troponin
