DescriptionPurified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with purified the specified immunogen and fusing the splenocytes with mouse myeloma p3-X63-Ag8.653 cells (see application references). Recognizes the ~92 kDa latent and the ~78 kDa active forms of MMP-9 and the ~200 kDa MMP-9/TIMP-1 complex.
BackgroundMatrix metalloproteinases (MMP's) 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 MMP's 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). 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 83 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 approximately 35 nM) whereas TIMP-2 binds to pro-MMP-2 with a Kd approximately 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.
