Description

General description

M.W. 56,000/52,000. Note: 1 mU = 1 milliunit.

Native proMMP-1 from cultured, human rheumatoid synovial fibroblast. Corresponds to the 56 kDa/52 kDa enzyme. May contain some activated enzyme but requires APMA (Cat. No. 164610; 30-60 minutes at 37°C, just prior to use) to obtain fully activated enzyme (46 kDa/42 kDa). May also undergo autocatalysis to yield a 27 kDa/22 kDa active enzyme. Expressed by a large number of cell types. Cleaves fibrillar Type I collagen. Must be activated just prior to use.

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 300 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 culture medium of human rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts that has 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).
