Mouse MMP-24 (Matrix Metalloproteinase 24) CLIA Kit

ELISA Type: CLIA. Sensitivity: 18.75 pg/mL. Range: 31.25--2000 pg/mL. Protein function: Metalloprotease that mediates cleavage of N-cadherin (CDH2) and acts as a regulator of neuro-immune interactions and neural stem cell quiescence (PubMed:19805319, PubMed:24952463). Involved in cell- cell interactions between nociceptive neurites and mast cells, possibly by mediating cleavage of CDH2, thereby acting as a mediator of peripheral thermal nociception and inflammatory hyperalgesia (PubMed:19805319). Key regulator of neural stem cells quiescence by mediating cleavage of CDH2, affecting CDH2-mediated anchorage of neural stem cells to ependymocytes in the adult subependymal zone, leading to modulate their quiescence (PubMed:24952463). May play a role in axonal growth (PubMed:11714638). Able to activate progelatinase A. May also be a proteoglycanase involved in degradation of proteoglycans, such as dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. Cleaves partially fibronectin, but not collagen type I, nor laminin (PubMed:10622708). [The UniProt Consortium]
