MMP-1

Matrix metallopeptidase 1 (interstitial collagenase), also known as MMP1 is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. MMP-1 is the only enzyme able to initiate breakdown of the interstitial collagens, collagen type 1, collagen type 2, and collagen type 3.1, 2 MMP-1 plays an important role in diverse physiologic processes such as development, tissue morphogenesis, and wound repair. Expression of MMP-1 is a prognostic marker for hematogenous metastasis of colorectal cancer.3

Immunocytochemistry: This antibody can be used at 2 - 15 μg/mL to detect human MMP-1 in 10 - 15 μm thick paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Goat Anti-Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) recognizes Human MMP-1. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
