Description | Antibody Type: Mouse Monoclonal Application: ELISA, FCM Reactivity: Human |
Alias | MMP-2, matrix metallopeptidase 2, GelA, Clg4a |
Ig Type | Mouse IgG2a |
Clone | 3D181 |
Reactivity | Human |
Verified Activity | Flow cytometric analysis of Human MMP2 expression on MG63 cells. The cells were treated according to manufacturer’s manual (BD Pharmingen™ Cat. No. 554714), stained with purified anti-Human MMP2, then a FITC-conjugated second step antibody. The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact cells. |
Application | ELISA,FCM |
Recommended Dose | ELISA: 1:5000-1:10000; FCM: 1:25-1:100 |
Antibody Type | Monoclonal |
Host Species | Mouse |
Construction | This antibody was produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified, recombinant Human MMP-2 (rh MMP-2; TMPY-01477; NP_004521.1; Met 1-Cys660). The IgG fraction of the cell culture supernatant was purified by Protein A affinity chromatography. |
Purification | Protein A |
Appearance | Liquid |
Formulation | 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 10% Trehalose, pH7.0 |
Research Background | Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme that degrades components of the extracellular matrix and thus plays a pivotal role in cell migration during physiological and pathological processes. MMP-2 expression is dependent on extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), Her2/neu, growth factors, cytokines, and hormones. Pro-MMP-2 activation needs MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 contribution. MMP-2 is changed in distribution and increased in amount in the ventral cochlear nucleus after unilateral cochlear ablation. A low level of MMP-2 is linked to a favorable prognosis in patients with a hormone receptor-negative tumor, usually associated with high risk. As a zymogen requiring proteolytic activation for catalytic activity, MMP-2 has been implicated broadly in the invasion and metastasis of many cancer model systems, including human breast cancer (HBC). Blocking MMP-2 secretion and activation during breast carcinoma development may decrease metastasis. The detection of active MMP-2 alone or the rate of pro-MMP-2 and active MMP-2 is considered a very sensitive indicator of cancer metastasis. Modulation of MMP-2 expression and activation through specific inhibitors and activators may thus provide a new mechanism for breast cancer treatment. |
