Anti-MMP-7 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total MMP-7 protein.
Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) is also termed as matrilysin. It is located on human chromosome 11q21-->q22. It belongs to the MMP enzyme family and is highly expressed in cancer cells. MMP7 is exclusively released by epithelial cells.
Immunogen

Biochem/physiol Actions
Overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) is observed in various cancers, such as breast, lung, prostate, esophagus, stomach, endometrium, and ovarian carcinomas, as well as esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Activated MMP7 plays a vital role in human colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases. It is essential for the development of tumor in the absence of PKP3 (plakophilin3).

Overexpression of MMP-7 Increases Collagen 1A2 in the Aging Kidney
The percentage of the U.S. population over 65 is rapidly increasing, as is the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The kidney is susceptible to age-dependent alterations in structure, specifically tubulointerstitial fibrosis, that lead to CKD. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were
