Recombinant Active Rat MMP9 Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: Mmp9-243R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Active Rat MMP9 Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Description: Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are 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. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling.

Q&As

What are the consequences of dysregulated MMP9 expression in cancer progression?

Dysregulated MMP9 expression is associated with cancer invasion and metastasis, as it enables tumor cells to degrade the extracellular matrix and invade surrounding tissues.

What is the impact of MMP9 polymorphisms on enzyme activity?

Polymorphisms in the MMP9 gene can influence enzyme activity, potentially affecting the individual's susceptibility to certain diseases and the progression of pathological conditions.

Can you explain the role of MMP9 in tissue remodeling at the molecular level?

MMP9 facilitates tissue remodeling by cleaving structural proteins in the extracellular matrix, such as collagen and gelatin, leading to changes in tissue architecture.

What is the role of MMP9 in the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier during neurological disorders?

MMP9 contributes to the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier by degrading tight junction proteins, potentially exacerbating neurological disorders and neuroinflammation.

How does MMP9 contribute to angiogenesis at the molecular level?

MMP9 plays a role in angiogenesis by promoting the release and activation of growth factors sequestered in the extracellular matrix, facilitating the formation of new blood vessels.
