Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) also known as macrophage metalloelastase (MME) or macrophage elastase (ME) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP12 gene. This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes that are involved in tissue remodeling, wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis and tumor invasion. The encoded preproprotein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, zinc-dependent endopeptidase enzyme. Mice lacking the encoded protein have a diminished capacity to degrade extracellular matrix components, do not develop emphysema in response to long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, and exhibit impaired clearance and increased mortality upon bacterial infection. This gene is located in a cluster of other matrix metalloproteinase genes on chromosome 9. Alternate splicing generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived mouse Mmp12 recombinant protein (Position: K237-H442). Mouse Mmp12 shares 62.7% and 90.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Mmp12, respectively.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.
