Active Recombinant Mouse Mmp2 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: Mmp2-1783M
• Product Overview: Active Recombinant Mouse Mmp2 protein(P33434)(110~662 aa), fused with N-terminal His tag, was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 110-662 aa
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile 20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
• Bio-activity: MMP2 is a zinc-dependent enzymes capable of cleaving components of the extracellular matrix, which belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family .It is a gelatinase A, 72kDa type IV collagenase which can hydrolyze gelatin under certain conditions. Gelatin zymography is mainly used for the detection of the gelatinases, MMP-2 and MMP-9 and It is extremely sensitive because levels of 10pg of MMP-2 can already be detected. Briefly, various concentrations of MMP2 were denatured by SDS loading buffer, electrophoresed through sodium dodecylsulphate–polyacrylamide gel (SDS–PAGE; 10% gels) containing gelatin (1 mg/mL) with nonreducing conditions. After renaturation, incubation and CCB-stained, active MMP2 would hydrolyze gelatin nearby, which was indicated by the white binds on the gel. In this experiment we use heat-denatured MMP2 protein as negative control, and blood sample as positive control.
• Molecular Mass: 63.5kDa
