Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9, 92kD Gelatinase, 92kD type IV Collagenase, Gelatinase B, GELB, 67kD Matrix Metalloproteinase-9, 82kD Matrix Metalloproteinase-9, MMP9, CLG4B)

Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) cleaves collagen types IV and type V and gelatin types 1 and V. MMP-9 has a possible role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration (Ref: SWISSPROT). ||Applications: |Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
