INTRODUCTION
MMP-2 or gelatinase A, is secreted by fibroblasts, cardiomyocytes, and myofibroblasts. MMP-2 has a broad feild of substrates, that contain elastin, collagen, fibroblast growth factor, endothelin, MMP-9, plasminogen, MMP-13 and TGF-beta, pointing towards bread roles of MMP-2. MMP-2 activity boosts at day four post-MI and attains a maximum by day seven.
DESCRIPTION
MMP2 Mouse produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 644 amino acids (30-662 aa) and having a molecular mass of 72.4kDa.
MMP2 is fused to a 11 amino acid His tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
