DescriptionPurified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with p3-X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~92 kDa latent and the ~86 kDa active forms of MMP-9.
BackgroundMatrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that are responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components such as collagen, laminin and proteoglycans. In addition to sequence homology, all MMPs share the following characteristics: the catalytic mechanism is dependent upon a zinc ion at the active center, they cleave one or more extracellular matrix components, they are secreted as zymogens which are activated by removal of an ~10 kDa segment from the N-terminus and they are inhibited by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). These enzymes are involved in normal physiological processes such as embryogenesis and tissue remodeling and may play an important role in angiogenesis, arthritis, periodontitis, and metastasis. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) also known as gelatinase B, 92 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase (EC 3.4.24.35) has a broad range of substrate specificity for native collagens including types IV, V, VII, and X as well as gelatin, proteoglycans and elastin. MMP-9 is secreted as a 92 kDa proenzyme and can be activated in vitro by organomercurials (e.g., 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate, APMA), trypsin, and α-chymotrypsin and in vivo by cathepsin G and MMP-3 to the 86 kDa active form. The activity of MMP-9 can be inhibited by TIMPs in a 1:1 molar ratio. TIMP-1 is known to bind exclusively to pro-MMP-9 (Kd ~35 nM) whereas TIMP-2 binds to pro-MMP-2 with a Kd ~5 nM. MMP-9 has been measured in human plasma from normal individuals and has been shown to be elevated in sera of patients with hepatocellular carcinomas.
