Function
May be involved in tissue injury and remodeling. Has significant elastolytic activity. Can accept large and small amino acids at the P1' site, but has a preference for leucine. Aromatic or hydrophobic residues are preferred at the P1 site, with small hydrophobic residues (preferably alanine) occupying P3 (By similarity).

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free batch production
For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

- Activity summary
Matrix metallopeptidase 12 commonly known as MMP12 or macrophage elastase is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. Found mainly in macrophages MMP12 belongs to the matrix metallopeptidase family. It functions to break down extracellular matrix proteins specifically elastin. Besides macrophages it sees expression in other tissues including the lungs and skin but it holds particular importance in immune cell-related environments.
- Biological function summary
MMP12 plays an important role in tissue remodeling and repair processes. It interacts with other proteases within the extracellular matrix. The degradation of elastin by MMP12 contributes to structural organization and it participates in immune response modulation. As part of the matrix metalloproteinase family MMP12 takes part in the larger proteolytic system which comprises multiple enzymes working in concert.
- Pathways
MMP12 is an essential factor in the extracellular matrix degradation pathway. This pathway regulates tissue remodeling and inflammatory response. MMP12 independently breaks down elastin while it interacts with proteins like MMP2 and MMP9 which assist in remodeling processes. It also contributes to the regulation of cytokines that orchestrate immune functions.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Overexpression of MMP12 is strongly linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atherosclerosis. In COPD MMP12's breakdown of elastin contributes to tissue damage in the lung. In atherosclerosis the enzyme accelerates plaque destabilization impacting cardiovascular health. Additionally MMP12 shares functional relationships with proteins such as TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases) which regulate its activity and play roles in disease pathogenesis.
