As the first member of membrane type (MT) MMPs, MMP-14, also known as MT1-MMP, plays an important role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by being able to degrade type I collagen, activate pro-MMP-2 and process cell adhesion molecules such as CD44 and integrin alpha V (1). MMP-14 is therefore a key enzyme in many physiological and pathological processes such as angiogenesis and tumor invasion. Structurally, MMP-14 consists of the following domains: a pro domain containing the furin cleavage site, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, a hinge region, a hemopexin-like domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplamasic tail (2). Recombinant Human MMP-14 consists of the pro and catalytic domains, which can be activated by treatment with furin as described in the Activity Assay Protocol.

FAQs for Recombinant Human MMP-14/MT1-MMP 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: 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.
