Detection of MMP2 in a Western blot of recombinant MMP2 and injured rat nerve lysate using MMP2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB12382).
Western Blot (Recombinant protein)
Western blot analysis of MMP2 on recombinant proteins using MMP2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB12382). MMP2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB12382) is specific for MMP2 (lane 5) and does not detect recombinant mouse MMP 3 (lane 1), MMP7 (lane 2), MMP9 (Lane 3) or MMP16 (lane 4).
Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. This gene encodes an enzyme which degrades type IV collagen, the major structural component of basement membranes. The enzyme plays a role in endometrial menstrual breakdown, regulation of vascularization and the inflammatory response. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Winchester syndrome and Nodulosis-Arthropathy-Osteolysis (NAO) syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq
