Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-10 (stromelysin 2) degrades a broad range of substrates including gelatin, collagen types III, IV and V, fibronectin, aggrecan, and pig cartilage proteoglycan. MMP-10 can activate other MMPs such as MMP-1 and MMP-8. MMP-10 is expressed in keratinocytes, T cells, menstrual endometrium and a few tumor samples. Structurally, MMP-10 may be divided into four distinct domains: a pro-domain which is cleaved upon activation, a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site; a short linker region, and a carboxyl terminal hemopexin-like domain.

Protocols
View specific protocols for Recombinant Human MMP-10 Protein, CF (910-MP):
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM Tris, 10 mM CaCl2, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% (w/v) Brij-35, pH 7.5 (TCNB)
- Recombinant Human MMP-10 (rhMMP-10) (Catalog # 910-MP)
- p-Aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA), (Sigma, Catalog # A-9563) 100 mM stock in DMSO
- Substrate: MCA-Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Val-Glu-NVAL-Trp-Arg-Lys(DNP)-NH2 (Catalog # ES002)
- F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
- Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Activate rhMMP-10 at 100 µg/mL in Assay Buffer containing 1 mM APMA.
- Incubate at 37 °C for 2 hours.
- Dilute activated rhMMP-10 to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute Substrate to 20 µM in Assay Buffer.
- Load 50 µL of the 2 ng/µL rhMMP-10 in a black well plate, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 20 µM Substrate without any rhMMP-10.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm (top read), respectively, in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.

FAQs for Recombinant Human MMP-10 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.
-
Q: Does this MMP enzyme need to be activated to work?
A: Yes, this enzyme requires activation prior to use.
-
Q: If I use this enzyme at a higher concentration, do I need to change the concentration of APMA to activate it?
A: We have only optimized activation conditions for one particular concentration of this MMP enzyme as part of our regular QC testing for enzymatic activity. Activating the enzyme at any different concentration would have to be optimized by the end user.
-
Q: What is the activity of this enzyme in units/µg?
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.
-
Q: What is the ratio of pro- and active forms of this enzyme prior to activation?
A: We do not measure the ratio of pro- to active MMP-10 prior to activation. We measure the activity of each lot after activation to ensure it passes our activity specification.
