Description

General description

Native MMP-9-Lipocalin-TIMP-1 complex from stimulated human neutrophils. The ternary MMP-9/lipocalin/TIMP-1 complex behaves like the Pro-MMP-9/TIMP-1 complex, acting as an inhibitor of active MMPs. Following activation, the complex acts as a gelatinase, with reduced activity.

Native MMP-9-Lipocalin-TIMP-1 complex from stimulated human neutrophils. The ternary MMP-9/lipocalin/TIMP-1 complex behaves like the progelatinase B/TIMP-1 complex in acting as an inhibitor of active MMPs. Following activation, the complex acts as a gelatinase with reduced activity.

Note: 1 mU = 1 milliunit.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1.0 µmol 2,4-DNP-Pro-Gln-Gly-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln-D-Arg-OH per min at 37°C, pH 7.0.

Physical form

In 200 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM CaCl₂, 1 µM ZnCl₂, 0.05% BRIJ^® 35 Detergent, 0.05% NaN₃, pH 7.0.

Preparation Note

Prepared from stimulated neutrophils that have been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.

Reconstitution

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
