Species: Human Expressing host: HEK293 cells Description: Recombinant Human MMP-9 Protein is produced by HEK293 cells expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Ala20-Asp707 (Q279R)) of human MMP-9/CLG4B (Accession #NP_004985.2) fused with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Tag: C-His Purity: > 97% by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Biological Activity: 1. Measured in a cell migration assay using A549 cells. 1 ng/mL of Recombinant Human MMP-9 can effectively induce A549 cells migration.
2. Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2.The specific activity is >1100 pmol/min/g. preparation: Lyophilized from a 0.22 m filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.Contact us for customized product form or formulation. Storage Store the lyophilized protein at -20C to -80 C for long term.
After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20 C for 3 months, at 2-8 C for up to 1 week.Unopened freeze-dried powder,Store at -20 to -80 °C for twelve months
Redissolution: Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid votex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles.Redissolution:Store at -20 to -80 °C,avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles
Background Information : 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. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling. GeneID 4318 Swiss Prot P14780 Alias: MMP9;CLG4B;GELB;MANDP2;MMP-9MedChemExpress (MCE) recombinant proteins include: cytokines, enzymes, growth factors, hormones, receptors, transcription factors, antibody fragments, etc. They are often essential for supporting cell growth, stimulating cell signaling pathways, triggering or inhibiting cell differentiation; and are useful tools for elucidating protein structure and function, understanding disease onset and progression, and validating pharmaceutical targets. At MedChemExpress (MCE), we strive to provide products with only the highest quality. Protein identity, purity and biological activity are assured by our robust quality control and assurance procedures.
