Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMPs are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. MMP7 degrades proteoglycans, fibronectin, elastin and casein and differs from most MMP family members in that it lacks a conserved C-terminal protein domain. The enzyme is involved in wound healing, and studies in mice suggest that it regulates the activity of defensins in intestinal mucosa. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3.
Titration of the MMP7 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 117-146 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this MMP7 antibody.
Aliquot the MMP7 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
