Cleaved-MMP-14 (Y112) polyclonal antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) . MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases, including MT-MMP-1 (also designated MMP-14), MT-MMP-2 (also designated MMP-15), MT-MMP-3 (also designated MMP-16) and MT-MMP-4 (also designated MMP-17) are type I membrane proteins that function to activate other MMPs. MT-MMP activation appears to be mediated by members of the proprotein convertase family, suggesting that a proprotein convertase/MT-MMP/MMP cascade may be involved in the regulation of ECM turnover.
