Description MMP-1 (matrix metalloproteinase 1), otherwise known as interstitial collagenase, is a member of a family of secreted zinc-dependent endoproteases, which play a role in the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, including both fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens, laminin, basement membrane glycoprotein and fibronectin. MMP-1 specifically cleaves types I, II, III, VII and X collagens, and also interacts with and cleaves the secreted viral Tat protein during HIV infection, resulting in a decrease in neuronal Tat's mediated neurotoxicity. MMP-1 is overexpressed in invasive melanoma, colorectal and oesophageal cancers, and has been implicated in arthritis, atherosclerotic lesion formation, and in the repair processes of the heart after myocardial infarction. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to human MMP-1 expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~42.7kD containing the entire catalytic N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain. Activity: MMP-1 activity was measured by its ability to cleave a chromogenic peptide MMP-1 substrate at RT. At an MMP-1 concentration of ~2.5ug/ml, 50% cleavage was achieved at an incubation time of ~25 mins. Applications: Suitable for use in Functional Assays. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Endotoxin Level: <1EU/ug Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 6 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
