Background

Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 (gelatinase B) can degrade a broad range of substrates including gelatin, collagen types IV and V, elastin, and proteoglycan core protein. It is believed to act synergistically with interstitial collagenase (MMP-1) in the degradation of fibrillar collagens as it degrades their denatured gelatin forms. MMP-9 is produced by keratinocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and PMN leukocytes. MMP-9 is present in most cases of inflammatory responses. Structurally, MMP-9 may be divided into five distinct domains: a pro-domain which is cleaved upon activation, a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three contiguous fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site, a proline-rich linker region, and a carboxyl terminal hemopexin-like domain. Compared to the human MMP-9
(Catalog # 911-MP), the mouse enzyme contains extra sequences in the linker region and in the hemopexin-like domain, respectively.

1.  I’m looking for a pair of antibodies to MMP-9 that can be used in a sandwich assay. Do you carry any? 
   • We have 10 primary antibodies for MMP-9 that have been tested in ELISA, seen here.It looks like 2 have been tested for capture (please note the tested species for each of these), seen here.6 have been tested for detection, seen here.
