Western Blot: MMP-9 Antibody (4A3) [NBP2-13173]

Western Blot: MMP-9 Antibody (4A3) [NBP2-13173] - Identification of gelatinases by Western blot analysis. A pool of sera from 10 patients with inactive RR-MS was used. For 2-DZ, pooled sera were concentrated 10-fold and 40 ug of total proteins were applied (left panels). For Western blot analysis pooled sera were concentrated 40-fold and 160 ug of total proteins were subjected to 2-DE (right panels). 2-DE gels were cut and the corresponding nitrocellulose membranes were treated with anti-NGAL Ab (A'), anti-MMP-2 Ab (B') and Anti-MMP-9 (4A3) Ab, recognizing the 65 kD and the 82 kD activated forms (C'); Gel C show the region with isoelectric point between pH 4-5.5 and molecular mass between 85 and 55 kD, analysed by Western blot in C', respectively.

Background: MMP-9

MMP9, also known as Matrix metallopeptidase 9 or gelatinase B is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. The MMPs are zinc-containing enzymes involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes including embryonic development, reproduction and tissue remodeling. Most MMP family members are secreted as inactive proproteins that become activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The proenzyme MMP9 is thought to be a 92 kDa protein. Processing of the precursor MMP9 yields different active forms, two of which were identified in Duncan et al 1998 (PMID: 9851689) to be 82 kDa and 63 kDa proteins. The 82 kDa protein results from cleavage at the Arg87-Phe88 bond. And the 63 kDa protein is caused by a further cleavage to the 82 kDa protein within the C-terminus domain between Arg527-Gly528. The main 63 kDa protein produced thus has the N-terminus of activated MMP9 and has a cleaved C-terminus. Antibodies specific to the active forms of MMP9 can be useful tools for studying important pathological processes such as tumor invasion, metastasis and arthritis.
