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-9 (gelatinase B) can degrade a broad range of substrates including gelatin, collagen types IV and V, elastin and proteoglycan core protein. It is believed to act synergistically with interstitial collagenase (MMP-1) in the degradation of fibrillar collagens as it degrades their denatured gelatin forms. MMP-9 is produced by keratinocytes, monocytes, macrophages and PMN leukocytes. MMP-9 is present in most cases of inflammatory responses. Structurally, MMP-9 may be divided into five distinct domains: a pro-domain which is cleaved upon activation, a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three contiguous fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site, a proline-rich linker region, and a carboxyl terminal hemopexin-like domain. Compared to the Recombinant Human MMP‑9 (Catalog # http://www.rndsystems.com/product_results.aspx?k=911-MP">911-MP), the mouse enzyme contains extra sequences in the linker region and in the hemopexin-like domain, respectively.

FAQs for Recombinant Mouse MMP-9 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.
