Background | The Quantikine Total MMP-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure MMP-2 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse/rat pro-MMP-2 and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural MMP-2 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quant...ikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring MMP-2. Show More |

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of 24 known human zinc proteases with essential roles in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Additional MMP substrates include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and binding proteins, cell/cell adhesion molecules, and other proteinases. With a few exceptions, MMPs share common structural motifs including a pro-peptide domain, a catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a hemopexin-like domain. Synthesized as pro-enzymes, most MMPs are secreted before conversion to their active form. MMP activities are modulated on several levels including transcription, pro-enzyme activation, or by their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). A subset of MMPs are associated with membranes and designated as membrane-type metalloproteinases (MT-MMP).
MMP-2: More Than a Cancer Marker Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of endopeptidases involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) during both normal physiological and disease processes. MMP-2 is a zinc-dependent family member that selectively cleaves collagen... Read full blog post. |
CD63: is it pro-metastatic or anti-metastatic? CD63 is a type II membrane protein belonging to tetraspanin superfamily and it play key roles in the activation of several cellular signaling cascades along with acting as TIMP1 receptor. It is expressed by activated platelets, monocytes,... Read full blog post. |
Integrin alpha v beta 3 - a target for inhibiting tumor angiogenesis Integrins are a family of transmembrane proteins involved in diverse processes including cell adhesion, signal transduction, cell migration, and differentiation. They exist as heterodimers consisting of noncovalently linked alpha and beta subunits.... Read full blog post. |
Cytokeratin 18 - A Intermediate Filament Cyotskeletal Component Keratins, also called cytokeratins, are a family of filamentous structural proteins that form the intermediate filaments within epithelial cells. Keratins are differentially expressed depending on both the epithelial cell origin and degree of differen... Read full blog post. |
