Active Recombinant Pig MMP9 protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: MMP9-1131P
• Product Overview: Active Recombinant Pig MMP9 protein(Q2VI03)(169~387 aa), fused with N-terminal His tag, was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Species: Pig
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 169-387 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: MMP9 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, 92kDa 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 recombinant pig MMP9 (1000ng, 500ng, 100ng, 10ng, 1ng, 0.1ng) were denatured by SDS loading buffer, electrophoresed through sodium dodecylsulphate- polyacrylamide gel (SDS–PAGE; 10% gels) containing gelatin (1mg/mL) with nonreducing conditions. After renaturation, incubation and CCB-stained, active MMP9 would hydrolyze gelatin nearby, which was indicated by the white binds on the gel. In this experiment we use heat-denatured MMP9 protein as negative control, and blood sample as positive control.
• Molecular Mass: 27.9kDa
