General description

All cells within tissues are surrounded by an extracellular matrix (ECM) giving the tissues shape and structure. The ECM is constantly being remodeled and constant communication is maintained between cells through this matrix. Secreted proteins, termed matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are involved in the modulation of cell matrix interactions. MMPs are Zn2+ binding endopeptidases that degrade various components of the ECM. MMPs are enzymes implicated in normal and pathologic tissue remodeling processes, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion. These enzymes are very potent when active, and are associated with extracellular space inhibitors called TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases).

MMP9, also known as gelatinase B, is a secreted enzyme which degrades the interstitial collagens, types I, II, and III and is produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.

Specificity

The antibody recognizes human MMP-9. It does not cross react with MMP-1 or MMP-2.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of MMP-9.

Application

S‑Adenosyl‑L‑methionine (AdoMet) is the principal methyl donor in transmethylation reactions fundamental to sustaining epigenetic modifications. Over the past decade, AdoMet has been extensively investigated for its anti‑proliferative, pro‑apoptotic and anti‑metastatic roles in several types of human cancer. Head and neck

Relapse to cocaine use necessitates remodeling excitatory synapses in the nucleus accumbens and synaptic reorganization requires matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degradation of the extracellular matrix proteins. We found enduring increases in MMP-2 activity in rats after withdrawal from self-administered cocaine and
