Gene Information
human ... MMP13(4322)
Specificity
It recognizes proteins of ~60 kDa and ~48 kDa which are identified as pro (latent) and activate forms of matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13; also known as Collagenase-3). Shows no cross reactivity with the pro and active forms of other MMPs. Human collagenase-3 (MMP13) is a recently identified member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family that is expressed in breast carcinomas and in articular cartilage from arthritic patients. The MMP-13 gene has been isolated and characterized. This gene is composed of 10 exons and 9 introns and spans over 12.5 kb. The overall organization of the collagenase-3 gene is similar to that of other MMP genes clustered at chromosome 11q22, including fibroblast collagenase (MMP-1), matrilysin (MMP-7), and macrophage metalloelastase (MMP-12), but is more distantly related to genes coding for stromelysin-3 (MMP-11), gelatinase-A (MMP-2), and gelatinase-B (MMP-9), which map outside of this gene cluster. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic
Immunogen
Human recombinant collagenase-3 protein.
Application
Immunohistochemistry (frozen and formalin-fixed/paraffin*): 2-4 μg/mL for 60 minutes at room temperature.
* Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Immunoprecipation: use protein G (2 μg/mg protein lysate)
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

MMPs, which degrade components of the ECM, have roles in embryonic development, tissue repair, cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular disease. We show that a missense mutation of MMP13 causes the Missouri type of human spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD(MO)), an autosomal dominant disorder

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by cartilage damage, inflammation, and pain. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) have been associated with OA severity, suggesting that inhibitors targeting these receptors alleviate pain (via VEGFR1) or cartilage degeneration (via VEGFR2). We have developed

Dysregulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression is a major cause of the degradation of lung tissue that is integral to emphysema pathogenesis. Cigarette smoking (CS) increases MMP gene expression, a major contributor to emphysema development. We previously reported that Zbtb7c

Enchondromas and chondrosarcomas are common cartilage neoplasms that are either benign or malignant, respectively. The majority of these tumors harbor mutations in either IDH1 or IDH2. Glutamine metabolism has been implicated as a critical regulator of tumors with IDH mutations.

Pain is the major reason that patients suffering from osteoarthritis (OA) seek medical care. We found that vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) mediate signaling in OA pain pathways. To determine the specific contributions of VEGFs and their receptors (VEGFRs) to
