Background: MMP-2

MMP2 is a member of the Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) family, which are involved in extracellular matrix degradation under both normal physiological and disease processes. Specifically, MMP-2 is responsible for degrading collagens type IV, V, VII, and X and gelatin type I. Other reported functions of MMP 2 include angiogenesis, tumor invasion, tissue repair, remodeling of the vasculature, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. MMP-2 secretion is activated by the Ras signaling pathway. The MMP2 antibody clone MMP2/8B4 was created against activated recombinant human MMP2, and will specifcally detect both the active and inactive forms. This MMP-2 antibody has been thoroughly characterized in most common immunological applications and has been cited in a number of published journal articles.
