Human MMP-8 Protein, His Tag (active enzyme)

Human MMP-8 Protein, His Tag (MM8-H52H7) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293) . It contains AA Phe 21 - Gly 262 (Accession # P22894-1) . It needs to be activated by agents such as APMA in vitro to have hydrolytic activity.

Product Specifications

Background

Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) also known as neutrophil collagenase and CLG1, is a member of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) family, which degrade components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and play essential roles in various physiological processes as well as pathological processes. MMP-8 may affect the metastatic behavior of breast cancer cells through protection against lymph node metastasis, underlining the importance of anti-target identification in drug development. MMP-8 in the tumor may have a protective effect against lymph node metastasis.

Specifications

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 29.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 38-55 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
