Human MMP-3 PicoKine® Quick ELISA Kit, Carrier-free

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) also called stromelysin or transin, is a proteoglycanase closely related to collagenase (MMP1) with a wide range of substrate specificities. The complete primary structure for human MMP-3, which has 477 residues including a 17-residue signal peptide. MMP-3 and collagenase are 54% identical in sequence, suggesting a common origin for the evolution of the two proteinases. MMP-3 and collagenase expression are coordinately modulated in synovial fibroblast cultures. MMP-3 is a secreted metalloprotease produced predominantly by connective tissue cells. Together with other metalloproteases, it can synergistically degrade the major components of the extracellular matrix. It is capable of degrading proteoglycan, <a href="https://www.bosterbio.com/human-fibronectin-picokine-trade-elisa-kit-ek0349-boster.html" style="color:#EA8D28">fibronectin</a>, laminin, and type IV collagen, but not interstitial type I collagen. MMP-3 genotype may be an important determinant of vascular remodeling and age-related arterial stiffening, with the heterozygote having the optimal balance between matrix accumulation and deposition. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MMP-3, consisting of 460 amino acids with the molecular mass of 52KDa. The detected MMP-3 includes zymogen and active enzyme.
