Source

Produced in E.coli . Active Matrix Metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14, Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase 1, MT1-MMP) catalytic domain from human cDNA. The enzyme consists of the catalytic domain of human MMP-14 (Tyr 112 -Arg 298 , NM_004995) with a C-terminal purification tag. This represents a naturally-occurring active form of MMP-14 which lacks the C-terminal hemopexin domain. MMPs lacking this domain cannot cleave native collagens; however, activity toward other targets such as gelatin, casein, or peptide substrates is unaffected.

Purification

Partially purified by single-step affinity chromatography and gel filtration.

Stability

The enzyme is stable on ice for at least several hours. However, it is recommended that thawing and dilution of the enzyme be done within as short a time as possible before start of the assay. NOTE: When stored at -70°C, this enzyme is stable at the concentration supplied, in its current storage buffer. Procedures such as dilution of the enzyme followed by refreezing could lead to loss of activity.
