Blue Ice

21, 8

Lyophilized from 0.2um filtered PBS, pH 7.4, with 3% Trehalose

Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-16 and MMP-19. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11710594, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2554304, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2793861}.

Biological Activity:
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biologically active as determined by its ability to inhibit human MMP-2 cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR- NH2.
