Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human gastric carcinoma tissue labelling MMP9 with ab283575 at 1 : 5000 dilution (0.123 μg/ml), followed by a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond™ Polymer Refine Detection). Positive staining on immune cells of human gastric carcinoma is observed. The section was incubated with ab283575 for 10 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counter stained with hematoxylin. Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is LeicaDS9800 (Bond™ Polymer Refine Detection). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, Epitope Retrieval Solution2) for 20 mins.

What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:

  • - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

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

The protein expressed by gene MMP9 is a matrix metalloproteinase that plays an essential role in the local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. It cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond and processes NINJ1 to generate the Secreted ninjurin-1 form. Additionally, MMP9 cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three-quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one-quarter fragments. It degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
