Represents a naturally occurring active form of MMP-2 which lacks the C-terminal hemopexin domain. MMPs lacking this domain cannot cleave native collagens; however, activity toward other targets such as gelatin, casein, or peptide substrates is unaffected.

Produced in yeast. Active recombinant matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2, gelatinase A, 72kDa type IV collagenase) cloned from human cDNA. The enzyme consists of residues Tyr110-Asp452, which comprises the catalytic/fibronectin domain of human MMP-2, with a C-terminal purification tag. |
Specific Activity |
≥200 pmol/min/µg at 37°C using the colorimetric thiopeptolide Ac-Pro-Leu-Gly-S-Leu-Leu-Gly-OEt (100 µM; Prod. No. BML-P125) as substrate. |
UniProt ID |
P08253 |
Handling & Storage
Use/Stability |
The enzyme is stable on ice for at least several hours. However, it is recommended that thawing and dilution of the enzyme be done within as short a time as possible before start of the assay. After initial defrost, aliquot product into individual tubes and refreeze at -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/defrost cycles.NOTE: When stored under the above conditions, this enzyme is stable at the concentration supplied, in its current storage buffer. Procedures such as dilution of the enzyme followed by refreezing could lead to loss of activity. |
