Description Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endoproteases that require zinc and calcium for expressing catalytic activity. These enzymes play a central role in the maintenance and remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Elevated expression of their activity, caused either by up-regulation of their expression or down-regulation of their cognate inhibitors, has been implicated in various degenerative disorders, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, skeletal growth-plate disorders, and cancer metastasis. MMP-1 is a secreted collagenase with specificity toward Type I, II, III, VII, and X collagens. Recombinant human MMP-1 is a 42.7kD protein containing the entire catalytic N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain which is involved in substrate specificity and in binding TIMP-1. Biological Activity: MMP-1 activity was measured by its ability to cleave a chromogenic peptide MMP-1 substrate at room temperature. At an MMP-1 concentration of 2.5ug/ml, 50% cleavage was achieved at an incubation time of approximately 25 minutes AA Sequence: MFVLTEGNPRWEQTHLTYRIENYTPDLPRADVDHAIEKAFQLWSNVTPLTFTKVSEGQADIMISFVRGDHRDNSPFDGPGGNLAHAFQPGPGIGGDAHFDEDERWTNNFREYNLHRVAAHELGHSLGLSHSTDIGALMYPSYTFSGDVQLAQDDIDGIQAIYGRSQNPVQPIGPQTPKACDSKLTFDAITTIRGEVMFFKDRFYMRTNPFYPEVELNFISVFWPQLPNGLEAAYEFADRDEVRFFKGNKYWAVQGQNVLHGYPKDIYSSFGFPRTVKHIDAALSEENTGKTYFFVANKYWRYDEYKRSMDPGYPKMIAHDFPGIGHKVDAVFMKDGFFYFFHGTRQYKFDPKTKRILTLQKANSWFNCRKN Quality Control: Verified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable). Endotoxin: <0.1ng/ug of protein (<1EU/ug). Protein Content: Verified by UV Spectroscopy and/or SDS-PAGE gel. Storage and Stability: Store lyophilized products at -20°C. For reconstituted solutions of most products, we recommend short-term storage at 4°C. For longer term storage the protein solution should be stored with a carrier protein (eg. 0.1% BSA) in working aliquots and stored frozen at -20°C. Additional freeze/thaw cycles may cause some denaturation of the protein.
