Our broad portfolio consists of multiplex panels that allow you to choose, within the panel, analytes that best meet your needs. On a separate tab you can choose the premixed cytokine format or a single plex kit.
Cell Signaling Kits & MAPmates™
Choose fixed kits that allow you to explore entire pathways or processes. Or design your own kits by choosing single plex MAPmates™, following the provided guidelines.
The following MAPmates™ should not be plexed together:
-MAPmates™ that require a different assay buffer
-Phospho-specific and total MAPmate™ pairs, e.g. total GSK3β and GSK3β (Ser 9)
-PanTyr and site-specific MAPmates™, e.g. Phospho-EGF Receptor and phospho-STAT1 (Tyr701)
-More than 1 phospho-MAPmate™ for a single target (Akt, STAT3)
-GAPDH and β-Tubulin cannot be plexed with kits or MAPmates™ containing panTyr

Description
Monomeric, native MMP-9 from stimulated human neutrophils. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are members of a family of at least 20 zinc-dependent endoproteinases that function extracellularly at neutral pH. The enzymes are synthesized as latent or inactive zymogens that contain a regulatory propeptide. This propeptide confers latency by binding to the Zn2+ molecule present in the active site. MMP activation can be achieved through autoactivation, via cleavage by other MMPs or proteases, such as furin, urokinase, plasmin, and trypsin, or by treatment with organomercurial comounds. This preparation is highly purified native MMP-9 from stimulated human neutrophils. Requires activation prior to use.

Recommended reaction conditions
Organomercurial Activation ProtocolThis protocol is provided only as a general guide. Researchers should standardize this assay for their own specific needs and should consult published literature. The following protocol is from Stricklin, et al., which describes the use of p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) to activate pro-MMP. This protocol is also adaptable to other types of organomercurals, such as p-(hydroxymercuric) benzoate (PHMB), phenylmercuric chloride (PMC), or mersalyl.
1. Prepare a 10-50 mM stock solution of APMA (or other organomercurial compound) in 0.1 M NaOH just prior to use. Although not absolutely necessary, the stock solution may be adjusted to pH 11 with 5 N HCl (see Marcy, A.I., et al.).
2. To initiate the activation mix the proenzyme solution with the APMA solution at a 10:1 volume ratio (MMP:APMA). If a higher concentration of APMA is desired, increase the concentration of the stock solution. Do not exceed the 10:1 ratio, as this could result in significant changes in pH.
3. Incubate the mixture at 37°C for 2-3 h. It is recommended that an analytical run be conducted first to determine the optimal incubation time. For example, a small-scale experiment with a fixed concentration of pro-MMP and organomercurial would be incubated as described above. Remove aliquots of the sample at various time points during the incubation. Stop the reaction by the addition of SDS-PAGE sample buffer (e.g., 10 µl 2X sample buffer to 10 µl aliquot) and heat the samples to 95°C. The progress of activation can be monitored qualitatively by analyzing the aliquots on a 12% SDS-PAGE gel.
4. The activated MMP can be used without removing the APMA from the mixture. Please refer to Marcy, A.I., et al. for removal of organomercurials by gel filtration.
