Anti-MMP23B, CT (Matrix Metalloproteinase-23, MMP-23, Femalysin, MIFR-1, Matrix Metalloproteinase-21

MMP23A and MMP23B, two Metallopeptidase type proteases, are type II membrane-anchored zymogens that are proteolytically processed at a conserved motif and converted into secretory and mature enzymes. The proteins contain prepro, catalytic, cysteine-rich, interleukin-1 receptor-related and proline-rich domains. The MMP23A and MMP23B genes have been reported to express multiple mRNAs, some of which are derived by alternative splicing. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1:50, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
