Recombinant Human Matrix Metal

CLG1, HNC, MMP-8, PMNL-CL, Neutrophil collagenase, Matrix metalloproteinase-8, MMP-8, PMNL collagenase.

Full-length recombinant human neutrophil pro-collagenase (MMP-8), latent form.
Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8), or neutrophil collagenase, degrades interstitial collagens, acting preferentially on collagen type I.
Increased full-length MMP-8 protein was associated with infiltration into the skin of neutrophils, which are the major cell type that expresses MMP-8.
MMP-8 is synthesized and stored in specific granules in neutrophil leukocytes. MMP-8 activity is therefore regulated by factors such as surface-bound ligands (IgG or complement components) that release it through degranulation.Once released and activated through proteolytic or oxidative mechanisms, MMP-8 plays a major role in the connective tissue turnover that accompanies inflammatory processes.

MMP 8 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 390 amino acids (101-467a.a) and having a molecular mass of 44.3kDa. MMP 8 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

The MMP 8 solution (1mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 0.4M Urea and 10% glycerol.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
