Product Name :
Mouse anti Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9)

Description :
| Clone 4A3 | Isotype IgG1 | Product Type Monoclonal Antibody | Units 200 µg | Host Mouse | Species Reactivity Human | Application Immunohistochemistry (paraffin) Western Blotting

Background :
Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide derived from the N-terminus of the human MMP9 protein and mouse myeloma Ag8563 cells. Sequence common in rabbit, dog and pig

Source :
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. MMP-9 (also designated 92-kDa type IV collagenase or gelatinase B) has been shown to degrade bone collagens in concert with MMP-1 (also designated interstitial collagenase, fibroblast collagenase or collagenase-1), and cysteine proteases and may play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. MMP-1 is down-regulated by p53, and abnormality of p53 expression may contribute to joint degradation in rheumatoid arthritis by regulating MMP-1 expression. Synonyms: CLG4B, GELB, 92 kDa gelatinase, matrix metallopeptidase 9 <

Product :
Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide Product Form: Unconjugated Purification Method: Protein A/G Chromatography Concentration: See vial for concentration

Specificity :

Applications :
Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1-2 µg/ml) and immunohistochemistry (1-5 µg/ml). Antibody is specific for the activated form of MMP9 only. These working concentrations are merely an indication. Optimal working concentrations should, however, be evaluated by serial dilutions by the customer. Functional Analysis: N.A. Positive Control: Esophageal adenocarcinoma. Only present in tumor tissues.

Storage :
Product should be stored at -20°C. Aliquot to avoid freeze/thaw cycles Product Stability: See expiration date on vial Shipping Conditions: Ship at ambient temperature, freeze upon arrival

Antibodies are immunoglobulins secreted by effector lymphoid B cells into the bloodstream. Antibodies consist of two light peptide chains and two heavy peptide chains that are linked to each other by disulfide bonds to form a “Y” shaped structure. Both tips of the “Y” structure contain binding sites for a specific antigen. Antibodies are commonly used in medical research, pharmacological research, laboratory research, and health and epidemiological research. They play an important role in hot research areas such as targeted drug development, in vitro diagnostic assays, characterization of signaling pathways, detection of protein expression levels, and identification of candidate biomarkers.
