Background | The Quantikine Mouse MMP-3 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure total mouse MMP-3 (pro-, active, and TIMP-complexed MMP-3) in cell culture supernates and mouse serum. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant mouse MMP-3 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. Both antibodies also recognize recombinant mouse active MMP-3. Natural mouse MMP-3 showed dose-r...esponse curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative levels of natural mouse MMP-3. Show More |

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of 24 known human zinc proteases with essential roles in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Additional MMP substrates include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and binding proteins, cell/cell adhesion molecules, and other proteinases. With a few exceptions, MMPs share common structural motifs including a pro-peptide domain, a catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a hemopexin-like domain. Synthesized as pro-enzymes, most MMPs are secreted before conversion to their active form. MMP activities are modulated on several levels including transcription, pro-enzyme activation, or by their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). A subset of MMPs are associated with membranes and designated as membrane-type metalloproteinases (MT-MMP).
MMP3 - a potential target for arthritis therapies Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins. MMPs are essential for tissue remodeling during normal processes such as embryonic development as well as pathological conditions such as arthri... Read full blog post. |
