MMP-14 Inhibitor Screening Kit

Cat.No. : Kit-2123
Product Overview : MMP-14 Inhibitor Screening Kit provides a simple, fast and high-throughput adaptable method to screen/study/characterize potential MMP-14 inhibitors. The assay utilizes the ability of MMP-14 to cleave a synthetic MCA-based peptide substrate to release free MCA (7- Methoxycoumarin-4-acetic acid), which can be easily quantified using a fluorometer or fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 325/420 nm. In the presence of a MMP-14 specific inhibitor, the cleavage of the substrate is reduced/abolished, resulting in decrease or total loss of the MCA fluorescence.

Q&As (7)

Ask a question
What is the cellular source of MMP14 and how is its expression regulated? 06/05/2022

MMP14, also known as matrix metalloproteinase 14, is primarily expressed by cells of mesenchymal origin, such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Its expression is tightly regulated at multiple levels, including transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational mechanisms. Transcriptional regulation involves the binding of various transcription factors, such as AP-1 and SP-1, to the MMP14 promoter region. Additionally, microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins can modulate its mRNA stability and translation.

What is the role of MMP14 in cancer progression and metastasis? 03/29/2021

MMP14 plays a crucial role in cancer progression and metastasis. It facilitates tumor invasion by degrading components of the extracellular matrix, promoting cancer cell migration, and aiding in angiogenesis. MMP14 also influences tumor cell behavior by interacting with other proteins involved in cell signaling pathways and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in various types of cancer.

How is overexpression of MMP14 associated with tumor progression? 05/24/2020

Overexpression of MMP14 has been strongly associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in various types of cancer. Increased levels of MMP14 lead to enhanced degradation of the ECM, promoting tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Additionally, MMP14 can activate other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), further amplifying the proteolytic activity and facilitating tumor growth and angiogenesis. Moreover, MMP14 has been implicated in tumor-associated angiogenesis and immunosuppression, contributing to tumor progression and metastasis.

Can MMP14 be targeted for therapeutic interventions? 12/10/2019

Targeting MMP14 holds potential for therapeutic interventions in cancer and other diseases. Strategies such as selective inhibition of MMP14 activity, antibody-based therapies, and gene silencing techniques are being explored. However, the development of MMP14-targeted therapies faces challenges, including the need for specificity, avoiding off-target effects, and optimizing delivery methods to reach the tumor microenvironment.

Are there any known endogenous inhibitors of MMP14? 03/25/2017

Yes, there are endogenous inhibitors of MMP14, known as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). TIMPs bind to the active site of MMP14 and prevent its activity. TIMP-2 is a specific inhibitor of MMP14 and forms a complex with MMP14, regulating its enzymatic activity. The balance between MMP14 and TIMPs is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing excessive extracellular matrix degradation. Dysregulation of this balance can contribute to pathological conditions, including cancer progression.

What are the physiological functions of MMP14 in tissue remodeling? 08/29/2016

MMP14 plays a crucial role in tissue remodeling processes, such as embryogenesis, wound healing, and tissue repair. It is essential for the degradation and turnover of extracellular matrix components during tissue restructuring. MMP14 also influences cell behavior and migration during tissue development and regeneration. Additionally, it participates in the modulation of immune responses and angiogenesis, which are crucial for proper tissue remodeling.

How does MMP14 interact with its substrates? 07/09/2016

MMP14 possesses a catalytic domain responsible for substrate cleavage. It predominantly cleaves components of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen type I and type II. The interaction between MMP14 and its substrates occurs through specific binding sites within the substrate proteins. This interaction is facilitated by the hemopexin-like domain of MMP14, which acts as a docking site for substrate recognition and binding.
