MMP-9 Polyclonal Antibody

MMP8 encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of proteins. These proteins are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Proteolysis at different sites on this protein results in multiple active forms of the enzyme with distinct N-termini. This protein functions in the degradation of type I, II and III collagens. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

The MMP-9 Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody that is designed to detect and quantify the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in various biological samples. This antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of human MMP-9 protein. The resulting polyclonal antibody is purified using protein A affinity chromatography and is validated for its specificity and sensitivity using various techniques such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA.

The MMP-9 Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for researchers studying the role of MMP-9 in various physiological and pathological processes such as tissue remodeling, wound healing, cancer metastasis, and inflammation. This antibody can be used to detect MMP-9 expression in various sample types including cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and biological fluids such as serum and plasma. The antibody is suitable for use in various applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA.

The MMP-9 Polyclonal Antibody is supplied as a liquid in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative. The antibody is available in various sizes and formats to meet the specific needs of researchers. The antibody is stable for long-term storage at -20°C and can be used for multiple experiments without loss of activity.

In summary, the MMP-9 Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive antibody that is ideal for researchers studying the role of MMP-9 in various physiological and pathological processes. The antibody is validated for its specificity and sensitivity and is available in various sizes and formats to meet the specific needs of researchers.
