Anti-MMP-9 (Active) Antibody, clone 4A3

产品说明

一般描述

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), a member of the peptidase M10A family, is a multidomain zinc metalloproteinase enzyme, which is highly expressed in neurons and glia of the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum. The active MMP-9 is formed upon cell stimulation by enzymatic cleavage of the precursor, proMMP-9. Because of its function in tissue degradation, MMP-9 is tightly regulated by multiple mechanisms, including glycosylation, inhibition by TIMP1, internalization, and sequestration. MMP-9 plays an important role in long-term potentiation, synaptic plasticity, and memory. Several studies have reported an increase in levels of MMP-9 after CNS injury, as well during the development of various cancers.
