Applications
Show applications key
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab39138 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
WB
Application notes
WB: 1/1000 - 1/5000. Predicted molecular weight: 65 kDa. 1/1000 (when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT) - 1/5000 (when using chemiluminescent substrates). When used against the reduced protein, ab39138 identifies bands at 65 Kd, as well as activation/breakdown products. Note: Treatment of cells with Concanavalin A or the phorbol ester TPA stimulates production of MMP24 in some cell types, and the enzyme can be recovered in cell lysates. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection.
Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Target
Relevance
Matrix Metalloproteinase 24 (MMP24, MT5MMP) has been described as a proteoglycanase, which is critical in the turnover of ECM (extracellular matrix) components in the brain. MMP24 contains a candidate signal sequence, a propeptide region, a potential furin recognition motif, a zinc-binding catalytic domain, a hemopexin-like domain, a 24-residue hydrophobic region, which acts as a potential transmembrane domain, and a short cytosolic domain. Unlike other MTMMPs, MMP24 (MT5MMP) sheds from the cell surface as soluble proteinases, allowing its versatility as both a cell bound and soluble proteinase in ECM remodeling processes. MMP24 is elevated in several tumor cell lines, and is also produced by some normal cell lines. It is predominantly expressed in the brain, indicating a role in nervous system development. MMP24 is also highly expressed during embryonic development. The mouse MMP24 gene maps to chromosome 2.
Cellular localization
Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Processed form: Secreted protein. Also shed from cell surface as soluble proteinase, by a proteolytic cleavage.
