Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-7 (matrilysin) is expressed in epithelial cells of normal and diseased tissues, and is capable of digesting a large series of proteins of the extracellular matrix including collagen IV and X, gelatin, casein, laminin, aggrecan, entactin, elastin and versican (1). MMP-7 is implicated in the activation of other proteinases such as plasminogen, MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9. In addition to its roles in connective tissue remodeling and cancer, MMP-7 also regulates intestinal alpha ‑defensin activation in innate host defense, releases tumor necrosis factor-alpha in a model of herniated disc resorption, and cleaves FasL to generate a soluble form in a model of prostate involution. Structurally, MMP-7 is the smallest of the MMPs and consists of two domains: a pro-domain that is cleaved upon activation and a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site.

Scientific Data Images for Mouse MMP-7 Antibody
MMP‑7 in Mouse Intestine.
MMP‑7 was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse small intestine using Goat Anti-Mouse MMP‑7 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2967) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the cytoplasm of cells in intestinal glands. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.Detection of MMP-7 by Immunohistochemistry
Deletion of Nkx2-1, Foxa1 and Foxa2 at initiation blocks gastric differentiation and induces expression of squamocolumnar junctional markers in lung neoplasia.(A) Correlation between differentially expressed genes identified in single-cell analysis (C1 vs. C2, X axis) and population analysis (KrasLSL-G12D/+(K) vs. KrasLSL-G12D/+; Nkx2-1F/F (KN), Y axis). (B) tSNE plot of single high-quality tumor cells (this study) and E18.5 type two pneumocytes (AT2) from murine lung (Treutlein et al.). Color indicates cluster. Shape indicates source of cell. (C) Principal component analysis (PCA) of cancer cell clusters (C1–C3) based on genes comprising invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma signature (Guo et al). (D) Hierarchical clustering on principal components (HCPC) of the three cancer cell clusters (C1–C3) and normal murine tissue. The first two dimensions of a principal component analysis (PCA) is overlayed with the hierarchical clustering of the first five PCA dimensions. Dot color indicates cluster to which sample was assigned in K-means clustering. Gray ovals highlight multiple samples from the same tissue. ‘Glandular’ indicates glandular stomach. (E) IHC for indicated proteins in lung neoplasia 5 weeks after initiation with PGK-Cre lentivirus in KrasLSL-G12D/+; Nkx2-1F/F; Foxa1F/F; Foxa2F/F mice and controls. Scale bar: 100 microns. (F) IHC for FoxA1 and FoxA2 at the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) of glandular stomach and forestomach (left panels) and in proximal forestomach (right panels). Arrows point to SCJ. Scale bars: 100 microns. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30475207), licensed under a CC-BY license.
