MMP-16 Polyclonal Antibody Sizes: 50μL, 100μL Catalogue Numbers: RA27297-50, RA27297-100 Citations, Manuals and MSDS Available upon request. Background: matrix metallopeptidase 16 (MMP16) Homo sapiens 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 encoded protein activates MMP2 by cleavage. This gene was once referred to as MT-MMP2, but was renamed as MT-MMP3 or MMP16. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010], Condition: Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
