MMP-8 Protein, Human (HEK293)

Customer Review

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.

Biological Activity

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.)
