Product details

Human MMP9 Matched Antibody Pair Kits include a capture and a biotinylated detector antibody pair, along with a calibrated protein standard, suitable for sandwich ELISA. The Matched Antibody Pair Kit can be used to quantify native and recombinant human MMP9. Optimization of the kit reagents to sample type, immunoassay format or instrumentation may be required. Guidelines for use of this kit in a standard 96-well microplate sandwich ELISA using HRP/TMB system of colorimetric detection is described in this assay procedure for the purposes of quantification. Protocol information and tips on the use of the Matched Antibody Pair kits for sandwich ELISA can be found on our . An accessory pack can be purchased which includes buffer reagents required to perform 10 x 96-well plate sandwich ELISAs (ab210905).

Supplementary information

The MMP-9 protein also known as matrix metalloproteinase-9 or gelatinase B functions as an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins. It consists of a zinc ion at its active site and facilitates the degradation of type IV and V collagens fibronectin and elastin. MMP-9 has a molecular weight of approximately 92 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the liver lungs and immune cells. This enzyme can exist in monomer and dimer forms with its activity regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
Biological function summary

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 profoundly influences tissue remodeling inflammation and angiogenesis. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but interacts closely with substrates in the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 plays important roles in processes such as embryogenesis reproduction and wound healing through the remodeling of surrounding tissues. The MMP-9 protein is often measured using assays like ELISA or analyzed via techniques such as Western blotting to determine its expression levels and activity in different biological contexts.

Pathways

MMP-9 participates in the matrix metalloproteinase pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway. These pathways are essential in orchestrating processes such as tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses. MMP-9 acts alongside other matrix metalloproteinases including MMP-2 and is regulated by factors like cytokines growth factors and hormones ensuring the precision of extracellular matrix degradation during physiological processes.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 has associations with cancer invasion and metastasis as well as chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. In cancer upregulated MMP-9 expression aids tumor cells in breaching the basement membrane facilitating metastasis. The disorder-associated pathways often involve interactions with proteins like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Understanding MMP-9's role in these conditions can contribute to developing targeted therapies that inhibit its activity potentially mitigating disease progression.

Target data

Matrix metalloproteinase that plays an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration (PubMed : 12879005, PubMed : 1480034, PubMed : 2551898). Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption (By similarity). Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond (PubMed : 12879005). Cleaves NINJ1 to generate the Secreted ninjurin-1 form (PubMed : 32883094). Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments (PubMed : 1480034). Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.
