Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) is a member of the peptidase M1A family. MMP-8 may affect the metastatic behavior of breast cancer cells through protection against lymph node metastasis, underlining the importance of anti-target identification in dгυg development.
MMP-8 plays essential roles in various physiological processes such as morphogenesis, differentiation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling, as well as pathological processes including inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary diseases, and tumor invasion. MMP-8 participates in wound repair by contributing to the resolution of inflammation and open the possibility to develop new strategies for treating wound healing defects.
The recombinant human MMP8 consists of 458 amino acids after removal of the signal peptide. A DNA sequence encoding the human MMP8 (Met 1-Gly 467) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate (Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2), the specific activity is > 250 pmoles/min/μg.
Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated by APMA for an activated form.
Endotoxin < 1 EU/µg

| Recombinant Human SOD1 Protein (E. coli, N-6His)
SOD1 binds copper and zinc ions and is one of three isozymes responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. SOD1 neutralizes supercharged oxygen molecules, which can damage cells if their levels are not controlled. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide. |
| Recombinant Human SOD2 (HEK293, C-6His)
SOD2 is a mitochondrial matrix protein that forms a homotetramer and binds one manganese ion per subunit. SOD2 transforms toxic superoxide, a byproduct of the mitochondrial electron transport chain into hydrogen peroxide and diatomic oxygen. |
| Recombinant Human MMP13 Protein (E. coli, N-His)
The MMP-13 protein plays a role in the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, especially fibrillar collagen, fibronectin, TNC, and ACAN. It cleaves triple-helical collagen, preferentially cleaves type II collagen, and can also target other collagen types. |
| Recombinant Human MMP12 Protein (E. coli)
Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) is a macrophage-secreted elastase that is highly induced in the liver and lung in response to S. mansoni eggs and contains four hemopexin-like domains. MMP12 is a proteolytic enzyme responsible for the cleavage of plasminogen to angiotensin, which has an angiostatic effect. |
| Recombinant Mouse MMP-12 (HEK293, C-6His)
Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) contains 4 hemopexin repeats and belongs to the peptidase M10A family. MMP12 may be involved in tissue injury and remodeling and have significant elastolytic activity. |
