Protocols
- 3801:
- IHC / Paraffin, Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
MMP-7 (D4H5) XP® Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total MMP-7 protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ile264 of mouse MMP-7 protein.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts mouse intestine (MMP-7 positive), mouse colon (MMP-7 negative) and rat prostate (MMP-7 positive) tissues using MMP-7 (D4H5) XP® Rabbit mAb.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from COS cells, untransfected or transfected with mouse MMP-7, using MMP-7 (D4H5) XP® Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse small intestine (positive, left) and mouse colon (negative, right) using MMP-7 (D4H5) XP® Rabbit mAb.
Background
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteases that target many extracellular proteins including other proteases, growth factors, cell surface receptors and adhesion molecules (1). Among the family members, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-9 have been characterized as important factors for normal tissue remodeling during embryonic development, wound healing, tumor invasion, angiogenesis, carcinogenesis and apoptosis (2-4). MMP activity correlates with cancer development (2). One mechanism of MMP regulation is transcriptional (5). Once synthesized, MMP exists as a latent proenzyme. Maximum MMP activity requires proteolytic cleavage to generate active MMPs by releasing the inhibitory propeptide domain from the full length protein (5).
