MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Cat. No.: HY-P72507
COA Handling Instructions

MMP-8, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic abilities, particularly its ability to break down fibrillar types I, II, and III collagen. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays an important role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues such as connective tissue, cartilage, and bone. MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag. The total length of MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 447 a.a., with molecular weight of approximately 64.09 kDa.

Description

MMP-8, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic abilities, particularly its ability to break down fibrillar types I, II, and III collagen. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays an important role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues such as connective tissue, cartilage, and bone.

Background

MMP-8, also referred to as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic capabilities and specifically its ability to break down fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays a significant role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues, such as connective tissues, cartilage, and bone. By degrading these fibrillar collagens, MMP-8 can contribute to processes such as tissue remodeling, wound healing, and inflammation resolution. Understanding the precise functions and regulation of MMP-8 can provide valuable insights into its involvement in collagen metabolism and tissue remodeling, potentially offering therapeutic opportunities for conditions characterized by abnormal collagen degradation or accumulation.

Biological Activity

Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2. The specific activity is 8505.224 pmol/min/µg, as measured under the described conditions.

Molecular Weight

approximately 64.09 kDa

Purity
  • Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4 or 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
