MMP2 protein (His tag), recombinant human

Activity: Testing in progress Protein Construction: A DNA sequence encoding the Human MMP-2 protein (P08253) (Met1-Cys660) was expressed with a C-His. Sequence: Met1-Cys660. Fusion tag: C-His Endotoxin: Please contact us for more information. Apparent Molecular Mass: 75 kDa. Protein function: 72 kDa type IV collagenase also known as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and gelatinase A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP2 gene.It belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of Protein 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
