Description

The QuickZyme human MMP-9 activity assay enables you to specifically measure in biological samples both active human MMP-9, as well as (pro)MMP-9 which is activated on the plate by APMA. It can be used for the measurement of MMP-9 activity in various biological samples, such as conditioned culture media, tissue homogenates, serum, plasma and urine.

Summary

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that function in the remodeling of extracellular matrix proteins. They are essential for various normal physiological processes such as embryonic development, morphogenesis, reproduction tissue resorption and tissue remodeling. They also play a role in a number of pathological processes such as inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, fibrosis and cancer. Regulation of MMPs is carried out at various levels. Expression of latent MMPs is regulated at the level of transcription, whereas the proteolytic activity is controlled by specific activation of proMMPs, and by MMP-specific inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) or general circulatory inhibitors, such as α2macroglobulin. The MMPs can be grouped according to their domain structure into collagenases, gelatinases, stromelysins, membrane type MMPs and matrilysins. MMP-9 (also known as type neutrophil gelatinase, IV collagenase, Gelatinase B; EC 3.4.24.35) has a broad range of substrate specificity for denatured collagens (gelatins), native collagens (types IV, V and XI), as well as elastin. Human MMP-9 has a Mw of 92 kDa (pro-form) and 82 kDa (active form). The activity is dependent on Zn2+ and Ca2+. MMP-9 is secreted as proMMP-9, and can be activated in vitro by organo mercurial compounds such as p-aminophenyl mercuric acetate (APMA). MMP-9 is produced by a variety of cell types including monocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, neutrophils, osteoclasts, chondrocytes, keratinocytes, endothelial and epithelial cells. The QuickZyme human MMP-9 activity assay enables you to specifically measure in biological samples both active human MMP-9, as well as (pro)MMP-9 which is activated on the plate by APMA. It can be used for the measurement of MMP-9 activity in various biological samples, such as conditioned culture media, tissue homogenates, serum, plasma and urine.
