MT1-MMP, Catalytic Domain, Human, Recombinant, E. coli

Note: 1 mU = 1 milliunit.

Recombinant, human pro-MT1-MMP expressed in E. coli and activated to yield the active catalytic domain (amino acids 89-265). The catalytic domain is comprised of amino acid residues Tyr⁸⁹ to Gly²⁶⁵ of mature human MT1-MMP. Hydrolyzes fibrillar collagens I, II, and III, as well as other extracellular matrix proteins, and activates MMP-2 and MMP-13, resulting in enhanced proteolysis of the matrix for cell migration and proliferation.

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

In 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 5 mM CaCl₂, pH 7.5.

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C).
