MMP7 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Matrilysin(MMP7) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P, ELISA in Mouse, Rat.
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) previously called putative metalloproteinase I (PUMP1) or matrilysin. The MMP-7 gene has been identified through studies of collagenase-related connective-tissue-degrading metalloproteinases produced by human tumors. The MMP-7 protein has 267 amino acids and is significantly shorter than stromelysin or collagenase (477 and 469 amino acids, respectively). Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis. MMP-7, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is structurally different from the other matrix metalloproteinases by virtue of the absence of a conserved COOH-terminal protein domain. In addition, MMP-7 mRNA is regulated in a specific and distinct manner in normal and malignant tissues. MMP-7 has been shown to correlate with nodal or distant metastasis in colorectal carcinomas, however, its implication in early invasive colorectal carcinomas has not been determined. MMP-7 is also a mediator of pulmonary fibrosis and a potential therapeutic target. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MMP-7, consisting of 250 amino acids with the molecular mass of 28KDa. The detected MMP-7 includes zymogen and active enzyme.

Small volumes of anti-MMP7 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS176981 is an antibody targeting MMP7. Reactive in Mouse, Rat. Host: Rabbit.
