General description

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of secreted and membrane-bound zinc endopeptidases. Collectively, these enzymes degrade the components of extracellular matrix, including fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens, fibronectin, laminin and basement membrane glycoproteins. MMPs play an important role in wound healing, apoptosis, bone elongation, embryo development, angiogenesis, cancer metastases, and tissue remodeling within many disease states.
Most MMP′s are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. However, MT1-MMP (MMP-14) is a member of the membrane-type subfamily. Each member of this subfamily contains a potential transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. MT1-MMP is capable of mediating pericellular proteolysis of extracellular matrix components and is therefore thought to be an important molecular tool for cellular remodeling of the surrounding matrix. This protein also activates MMP2 protein, and this activity may be involved in tumor invasion.

Specificity

Predicted to cross react with mouse, (95% sequence homology) and monkey chimpanzee, canine and bovine (100% sequence homology). Reactivity with other species has not been tested.
The antibody recognizes human and rat MT1-MMP. It does not cross react with MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, and MMP-13.

Immunogen

KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the hinge region of human MT1-MMP.

Application
