Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium-dependent endopeptidases that break down extracellular matrix proteins. The MMP9 is secreted as a 92kDa zymogen. Cleavage of ProMMP-9 results in the active enzyme, having a molecular weight of approximately 82kDa. MMP9 is composed of the following domains: a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-, a proline-rich type V collagen-homologous domain and a hemopexin-like domain. MMP9 is produced by the several cell types: monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, osteoclasts and endothelial cells. MMP9 is involved in inflammatory responses, tissue remodeling, wound healing, tumor growth and metastasis. MMP9 may also play an important part in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration, as well as in bone osteoclastic resorption. MMP9 cleaves type IV and type V collagens into large C-terminal three qu

MMP-9 Rabbit Recombinant is a full length secreted protein (688 amino acids - a.a. 20-707). The MMP-9 is expressed in insect cells and fused to a 30 aa C-terminal Myc-His tag, having a total MW of 79.94kDa. Purified MMP9 protein appears at 95kDa on SDS-PAGE gel due to protein modification.

Baculovirus system, insect cells.

Sterile Filtered clear solution.
