Description
Rabbit polyclonal to MMP3 - Propeptide domain
Specificity
ab38913 recognises the propeptide of MMP3 (Stromelysin 1) and Stromelysin 2, but does not cross react with Stromelysin 3, nor to the other MMP family members (MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, etc.).

Applications
Show applications key
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab38913 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, when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT - 1/5000, when using chemiluminescent substrates. Predicted molecular weight: 54 kDa. But note that when used against the reduced protein, ab38913 identifies bands at 59 Kd and 57 Kd (the pro-form), and not the active forms. Also note that MMP3 levels in quiescent cells and tissues are minimal, and stimulation or protein concentration is often needed to visualize the bands. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Target
Function
Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
Domain
The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.
Cellular localization
Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix.

Predicted band size : 54 kDa
Observed band size : 57,59 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
Note that these bands represent MMP3 pro-forms.
