MMP-2 Protein, Human (HEK293)
Based on 9 publication(s) in Google Scholar
MMP-2 protein is a multifunctional metalloproteinase that actively participates in physiological processes such as vascular remodeling, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. In addition to degrading extracellular matrix proteins, it also acts on non-matrix proteins to promote vasoconstriction. MMP-2 Protein, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived MMP-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Biological Activity
MMP-2 protein is a multifunctional metalloproteinase that actively participates in physiological processes such as vascular remodeling, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. In addition to degrading extracellular matrix proteins, it also acts on non-matrix proteins to promote vasoconstriction. MMP-2 Protein, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived MMP-2 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.
The MMP-2 protein, a ubiquitinous metalloproteinase, actively participates in a spectrum of physiological processes, including vasculature remodeling, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Beyond its role in degrading extracellular matrix proteins, this protein demonstrates versatility by acting on non-matrix proteins, such as big endothelial 1 and beta-type CGRP, thereby promoting vasoconstriction. Additionally, it cleaves KISS at a Gly-|-Leu bond and appears to play a role in myocardial cell death pathways. By regulating the activity of GSK3beta and cleaving GSK3beta in vitro, it contributes to myocardial oxidative stress. In association with MMP14, MMP-2 is involved in the formation of fibrovascular tissues. Notably, the C-terminal non-catalytic fragment of MMP-2, known as PEX, possesses anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties, inhibiting cell migration and adhesion to FGF2 and vitronectin. Furthermore, it serves as a ligand for integrin alpha-v/beta3 on the surface of blood vessels.
1. Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 ((HY-131498) and the specific activity is > 1,000 pmoles/min/µg. (Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated by APMA (HY-148905) for an activated form.)
2. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human MMP-2 at 2 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind Human TIMP2 hFc and the EC50 is 6.0-30.0 ng/mL.

F16 Black Maxisorp Plate
Procedure
1. Dilute Human MMP-2 to 100 μg/mL in assay buffer.
2. Activate Human MMP-2 by adding APMA to a final concentration of 1 mM in assay buffer.
3. Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour.
4. Dilute the activated Human MMP-2 to 0.2 μg/mL in assay buffer.
5. Dilute the substrate to 20 μM in assay buffer.
6. Experimental group: 50 μL of different concentrations of Human MMP-2 protein + 50 μL of 20 μM substrate.
7. Control group: 50 μL of 20 μM substrate + 50 μL of buffer.
8. Read in kinetic mode for 5 minutes at excitation and emission wavelengths of 320 nm and 405 nm, respectively.
9. Calculate Specific Activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/μg) = | Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor ** (pmol/RFU) |
| amount of enzyme (μg) |
*Adjusted for Control
**Derived using calibration standard
