All cells within tissues are surrounded by an extracellular matrix (ECM) giving the tissues shape and structure. The ECM is constantly being remodeled and constant communication is maintained between cells through this matrix. Secreted proteins, termed matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are involved in the modulation of cell matrix interactions. MMPs are Zn2+ binding endopeptidases that degrade various components of the ECM. MMPs are enzymes implicated in normal and pathologic tissue remodeling processes, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion. These enzymes are very potent when active, and are associated with extracellular space inhibitors called TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases). MMP1, also known as interstitial collagenase, is the only enzyme able to initiate the breakdown of the interstitial collagens, types I, II, and III.
Specificity
Additional sequence homology is noted with mouse (81%) and rat (75%).
The antibody recognizes an internal domain of human MMP-1 containing the hinge region. It does not cross react with MMP-2, MMP-9, or MMP-13.
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the hinge region of human MMP-1.
Application
Anti-MMP-1 Antibody, hinge region is an antibody against MMP-1 for use in WB.

Collagen zymography is an SDS-PAGE-based method for detecting both the proenzyme and active forms of collagenases. Although collagen zymography is used for assessment of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1 and MMP-13, it can be difficult to detect these collagenases due to
Biological trace element research, 145(2), 257-267 (2011-09-02)
The purpose of this study was to assess insoluble salts containing gadolinium (Gd(3+)) for effects on human dermal fibroblasts. Responses to insoluble Gd(3+) salts were compared to responses seen with Gd(3+) solubilized with organic chelators, as in the Gd(3+)-based contrast
Transcriptional dysregulation in Huntington's disease (HD) affects the expression of genes involved in survival and neuronal functions throughout the progression of the pathology. In recent years, extensive research has focused on epigenetic and chromatin-modifying factors as a causative explanation for
The discordance between genome size and the complexity of eukaryotes can partly be attributed to differences in repeat density. The Muller F element (∼5.2 Mb) is the smallest chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is substantially larger (>18.7 Mb) in
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) exerts dual effects on histone H3, promoting transcriptional repression via Lys4 (H3K4) demethylation or transcriptional activation through Lys9 (H3K9) demethylation. These activities are often exerted at transcriptional start sites (TSSs) and depend on the type of
