Description

General description

Full-length recombinant, human MMP-13 fused to a His•Tag sequence and expressed in S. frugiperda insect cells. This 452 amino acid proenzyme contains an N-terminal propeptide which confers latency to the proenzyme, a Ca²⁺- and Zn²⁺- binding catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a C-terminal hemopexin domain. Hydrolyzes collagen type II 5-6 times faster than collagens type I and III. Exhibits high activity towards gelatin and degrades α1-antichymotrypsin and plasminogen activator inhibitor-2.

Note: 1 mU = 1 milliunit.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)
