MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
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) is the recombinant human-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-Met labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293

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. MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293) is the recombinant human-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-Met labeled tag.
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.
Verified Bioactivity
Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 and the specific activity is > 250 pmoles/min/μg. (Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated by APMA (HY-148905) for an activated form.)
