Anti-MMP3 antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

MMP3 (matrix metallopeptidase 3) gene is a part of a gene cluster that encodes matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and is localized to human chromosome 11q22.3. MMPs are a family of 23 members that are induced by the cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. These proteinases are secreted in an inactive form and are activated upon cleavage by certain proteinases.

免疫原

Stromelysin-1 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

应用

Anti-MMP3 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for global protein profiling to find new molecular biomarkers for common, multifactorial disorders.
Anti-MMP3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

生化/生理作用

Matrix metallopeptidase 3 (MMP3) has a broad substrate specificity and is capable of degrading fibronectin, laminin, collagens III, IV, IX, and X, and cartilage proteoglycans. This enzyme functions is several physiological processes, such as in wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis, tissue remodeling and tumor initiation. MMP3 variant can be associated with hypertrophy of interventricular septum or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It may serves as a non-invasive biomarker of histological synovitis and diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

特点和优势

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
