MMP2 Antibody (Ascites) [APR08466G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Monoclonal Antibodies

Host: Mouse

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This MMP2 antibody is generated from mouse immunized with MMP2 recombinant protein.

Cellular Localisation: [Isoform 1]: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Membrane. Nucleus Note=Colocalizes with integrin alphaV/beta3 at the membrane surface in angiogenic blood vessels and melanomas. Found in mitochondria, along microfibrils, and in nuclei of cardiomyocytes

Molecular Weight: 73882

Clone: Monoclonal

Gene Name: MMP2

Gene ID: 4313

Function: Ubiquitinous metalloproteinase that is involved in diverse functions such as remodeling of the vasculature, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. As well as degrading extracellular matrix proteins, can also act on several nonmatrix proteins such as big endothelial 1 and beta- type CGRP promoting vasoconstriction. Also cleaves KISS at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Appears to have a role in myocardial cell death pathways. Contributes to myocardial oxidative stress by regulating the activity of GSK3beta. Cleaves GSK3beta in vitro. Involved in the formation of the fibrovascular tissues in association with MMP14. [Isoform 2]: Mediates the proteolysis of CHUK/IKKA and initiates a primary innate immune response by inducing mitochondrial- nuclear stress signaling with activation of the pro-inflammatory NF- kappaB, NFAT and IRF transcriptional pathways.

Summary: Tissue Location: Produced by normal skin fibroblasts. PEX is expressed in a number of tumors including gliomas, breast and prostate

Form: Mouse monoclonal antibody supplied in crude ascites with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.
