General description

MMP-3 (matrix metalloproteinase-3), also known as stromelysin-1, is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of zinc endopeptidases. MMP’s are required for removal of extracellular matrix machinery during embryo development, morphogenesis and tissue remodeling. Endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are responsible for regulating MMP-3. Any disruption of this system can cause diseases such as arthritis, metastasis, atherosclerosis and tumor growth.

Specificity

Other homologies: Mouse and rat (64% sequence homology).
This antibody recognizes MMP-3 at the N-terminus.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human N-terminal MMP-3.

Application

Detect MMP-3 using this Anti-MMP-3 Antibody, N-terminus validated for use in WB, IH(P).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:600 dilution from a previous lot detected MMP-3 in colorectal carcinoma and ductal carcinoma tissues.

Meniscus injury increases osteoarthritis risk but its pathobiology in osteoarthritis is unclear. We hypothesized that older adult vervet monkeys would exhibit knee osteoarthritic changes and the degenerative menisci from these animals would secrete matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines that

Meniscus injury increases the risk of osteoarthritis; however, the biologic mechanism remains unknown. We hypothesized that pro-inflammatory stimulation of meniscus would increase production of matrix-degrading enzymes, cytokines and chemokines which cause joint tissue destruction and could contribute to osteoarthritis development.
