390 MMP FRET Substrate IV, Mca-DNP
Supplier: Anaspec Inc
Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of endopeptidases. Collectively, MMPs can degrade all kinds of extracellular matrix proteins, and can also process a number of bioactive molecules. They are known to be involved in the cleavage of cell surface receptors, the release of apoptotic ligands, and chemokine/cytokine inactivation. MMPs are also thought to play a major role in cell behaviors such as cell proliferation, migration (adhesion/dispersion), differentiation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and host defense.
This substrate is readily hydrolyzed by MMP-8, 9 and collagenase-3 (MMP-13), Abs/Em = 325/393 nm. The hydrolysis is inhibited in a 1:1 stoichiometric fashion by the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, and TIMP-3.
