Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Human Recombinant

MMP-3 enzyme is also known as Stromelysin-1or as Transin-1 which hydrolyzes natural collagen at physiological pH and temperature. It dissolves the intervertebral nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus of Herniated Lumbar Intervertebral Disk . MMP-3 hydrolyzes components of the extracellular matrix like proteoglycan, laminin, fibronectin, gelatin and collagen types III, IV and IX. It also activates pro-MMP-9 and pro-MMP-8 and superactivates plasmin activated MMP-1. MMP-3 is secreted as a latent proenzyme and is activated by a variety of proteinases, e.g. plasmin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, cathepsin G or human neutrophil elastase. MMP-3 was found to be capable of activating the precursor of IL1-beta.
Description MMP-3 Human Recombinant produced in HEK293 cells is a proform of the Human MMP3 [Tyr18-Cys477 (Lys45Glu)] and fused with a ployhistide tag at the C-terminus, having an Mw of 52kDa.
MMP-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms Stromelysin-1, EC 3.4.24.17, Matrix metalloproteinase-3, MMP-3, Transin-1, SL-1, STMY, STR1, STMY1, MGC126102, MGC126103, MGC126104.
Source HEK293 cells.
Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
The MMP-3 is supplied as a 0.2µm filtered solution in Tris, NaCl and Brij35.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity The activity was measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-RPKPVE-Nval-WRK(Dnp)-NH2. The specific activity is > 150 pmoles/min/µg.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
