Quick Overview for MMP2 antibody (C-Term) (ABIN307117)

Target: MMP2 (Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MMP2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA

Clone: 4D3

Product Details anti-MMP2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Purpose: Mouse anti Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)

Cross-Reactivity: Human

Characteristics: The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. MMP-2 (also designated type IV collagenase) cleaves Collagen Types IV, V, VII and X and gelatin type I. Activation of MMP-2 secretion requires the Ras signaling pathway.

Purification: Protein A/G Chromatography

Immunogen: Hybridoma produced by the fusion of splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminus of the human MMP2 protein and mouse myeloma Ag8563 cells.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Antibody can be used for Western blotting (1-2 μg/mL) and immunohistochemistry on formlin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections (1-5 μg/mL). Optimal concentration should be evaluated by serial dilutions.
