MMP-8 Protein, Mouse (HEK293)

MMP-8 protein degrades different fibrillar collagens, such as type I, II, and III. It is implicated in the breakdown of collagen fibers during uterine involution. MMP-8 Protein, Mouse (HEK293) is the recombinant mouse-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293, with tag free. The total length of MMP-8 Protein, Mouse (HEK293) is 445 a.a., with molecular weight of ~65 kDa.

MMP-8 protein has the capacity to degrade various types of fibrillar collagens, including type I, II, and III. It is suggested that MMP-8 may be involved in the breakdown of collagen fibers during the process of uterine involution.

The enzyme activity of this recombinant protein is testing in progress, we cannot offer a guarantee yet.

Approximately 65 kDa

Greater than 85% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
