Anti-MT2-MMP / MMP15

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Matrix metalloproteinase 15 (MMP15) also known as Membrane-type-2 matrix metalloproteinase (MT2-MMP) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP15 gene. This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family and membrane-type subfamily of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Members of this subfamily contain a transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protein may play a role in cancer progression. Protein function: Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix. May activate progelatinase A. [The UniProt Consortium]
