Product type 

Proteins and Peptides

Peptide 

Full length native protein (purified) of Human MMP3.This Protein was used as an immunogen for ab38912 - MMP3 antibody - Whole molecule.

Specificity 

We have a range of domain specific antibodies for this target. For a full list please see all MMP3 antibodies

Tested applications 
(see key)

EIA-Ctrl, SDS-PAGE, WB

Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
SDS-PAGE: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
WB: The zymogen runs as 59 and 57 kDa bands, representing the glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. Active enzyme runs at 45 kDa, and breaks down stepwise to a 28 kDa form. The enzyme is supplied as a mixture of the zymogen and active enzyme. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. MMP3 is an enzyme which degrades fibronectin, laminin, collagens III, IV, IX, and X, and cartilage proteoglycans. The enzyme is thought to be involved in wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. MMP3 is reported to be implicated in rheumatoid arthritis and some forms of cancer.
