Background | The Quantikine Rat Total MMP-9 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure total rat MMP-9 (Pro-, active, and TIMP-complexed MMP-9) in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant rat MMP-9 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant protein. Results obt...ained using natural rat MMP-9 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural rat MMP-9. Show More |

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of 24 known human zinc proteases with essential roles in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Additional MMP substrates include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and binding proteins, cell/cell adhesion molecules, and other proteinases. With a few exceptions, MMPs share common structural motifs including a pro-peptide domain, a catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a hemopexin-like domain. Synthesized as pro-enzymes, most MMPs are secreted before conversion to their active form. MMP activities are modulated on several levels including transcription, pro-enzyme activation, or by their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). A subset of MMPs are associated with membranes and designated as membrane-type metalloproteinases (MT-MMP).
Cytokeratin 18 - A Intermediate Filament Cyotskeletal Component Keratins, also called cytokeratins, are a family of filamentous structural proteins that form the intermediate filaments within epithelial cells. Keratins are differentially expressed depending on both the epithelial cell origin and degree of differen... Read full blog post. |
