The MMP2 Antibody (CAB11144) is a high-quality antibody developed for reliable detection and analysis of target proteins. This antibody, raised in rabbits, specifically targets and binds to the MMP2 protein, allowing for accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types.MMP2 is known for its role in cancer progression, as it facilitates the degradation of extracellular matrix components, helping cancer cells invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body. By targeting MMP2 with this antibody, researchers can gain valuable insights into its activity and potential therapeutic strategies for inhibiting its function in cancer and other diseases.
This antibody is validated for use in WB, IF/ICC, ELISA applications and has demonstrated reactivity against Human, Mouse, Rat samples.

This gene is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene family, that are zinc-dependent enzymes capable of cleaving components of the extracellular matrix and molecules involved in signal transduction. The protein encoded by this gene is a gelatinase A, type IV collagenase, that contains three fibronectin type II repeats in its catalytic site that allow binding of denatured type IV and V collagen and elastin. Unlike most MMP family members, activation of this protein can occur on the cell membrane. This enzyme can be activated extracellularly by proteases, or, intracellulary by its S-glutathiolation with no requirement for proteolytical removal of the pro-domain. This protein is thought to be involved in multiple pathways including roles in the nervous system, endometrial menstrual breakdown, regulation of vascularization, and metastasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Winchester syndrome and Nodulosis-Arthropathy-Osteolysis (NAO) syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
