      DescriptionPurified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with mouse myeloma p3-X63-Ag8.653 cells. Recognizes the ~72 kDa latent and the ~66 kDa active forms of MMP-2.
      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-2 (MMP-2) also known by its alternative names of 72 kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase and gelatinase A (EC 3.4.24.24) cleaves a number of substrates including gelatins, collagen types I, IV, V, VII, X, XI, and XIV, fibronectin, elastin and proteoglycan. MMP-2 is synthesized as a 631 amino acid proenzyme (~72 kDa zymogen) which is proteolytically processed at the first 80 amino acids to the 66 kDa active form. MMP-2 has been identified in a number of tissues, cells, and plasma/serum. It is secreted in a pro-enzyme form (pro-MMP-2) and is activated in vitro by organomercurials (e.g., 4aminophenylmercuric acetate, APMA). Pro-MMP-2 and pro-MMP-2/TIMP-2 complex are specifically activated in vitro by active MT1-MMPs on the surface of tumor cells. Numerous studies have shown a correlation between collagenase expression and metastatic potential and suggest that MMP-2 may be a useful marker for the diagnosis or prognosis of cancer.
