Application: In vivo studyVerified Customer | Posted 03/04/2023rhMMP-3 protein was dissolved, stored as indicated, aliquoted, and used several times to induce pro-inflammatory responses in an in vivo model of intestinal inflammation. Application of this protein induced a strong accumulation of cells in the colon of the animals used (CD-1/ICR mice, treatment: 7 days, 10 ng/mL).

FAQs for Recombinant Human MMP-3 Protein, CF
-
Q: Can the enzyme be stored after activation, or do I need to use it immediately after activation?
A: We recommend only activating the amount of enzyme needed for your assay, and recommend activating the enzyme immediately prior to use. Any unactivated enzyme should be stored in aliquots at either the stock concentration at which the enzyme was supplied, or the reconstitution concentration, according to the product datasheet. -
A: Yes, this enzyme requires activation prior to use.
-
A: We supply this enzyme as a mass and calculate its activity relative to mass (pmol/min/µg). We have not calibrated this enzyme to an international standard unit, so we are unable to provide a conversion to units/µg.
