Human MMP-2 Recombinant Protein Lyophilized from Innovative Research has been recombinantly produced in E. coli. This is a Lyophilized protein buffered in with a purity of Greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per and#956;g (1EU/and#956;g)..

More Details:

• Species: Human
• Target: MMP2
• Purity: Greater than 90% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.
  
  Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per and#956;g (1EU/and#956;g).
• Source: E. coli
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized MMP-2 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted MMP-2 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing MMP-2 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Additional Information:

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endoproteases that require zinc and calcium for expressing catalytic activity. These enzymes play a central role in the maintenance and remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Elevated expression of their activity, caused either by up-regulation of their expression or down-regulation of their cognate inhibitors, has been implicated in various degenerative disorders, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, skeletal growth-plate disorders, and cancer metastasis. MMP-2 is a secreted collagenase with specificity toward Type IV, V, VII, and X collagens. Recombinant human MMP-2 is a 62.0 kDa protein containing the entire catalytic N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain (552 amino acids).
