Analysis
Product Datasheets
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: MMP-9
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases with the combined ability to degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 (gelatinase B) can degrade a broad range of substrates including gelatin, collagen types IV and V, elastin and proteoglycan core protein. It is believed to act synergistically with interstitial collagenase (MMP-1) in the degradation of fibrillar collagens as it degrades their denatured gelatin forms. MMP-9 is produced by keratinocytes, monocytes, macrophages and PMN leukocytes. MMP-9 is present in most cases of inflammatory responses. Structurally, MMP-9 maybe be divided into five distinct domains: a pro-domain which is cleaved upon activation, a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three contiguous fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site, a proline-rich linker region, and a carboxyl terminal hemopexin-like domain. In addition to the human enzyme, the recombinant mouse MMP-9 is also available (Catalog # 909-MM).

FAQs
-
Can the enzyme be stored after activation, or do I need to use it immediately after activation?
We recommend only activating the amount of enzyme needed for your assay, and recommend activating the enzyme immediately prior to use. Any unactivated enzyme should be stored in aliquots at either the stock concentration at which the enzyme was supplied, or the reconstitution concentration, according to the product datasheet.
-
Does this enzyme have a tag?
No, this enzyme does not have a tag. Please refer to the Source section on the product-specific page or product datasheet for sequence information.
-
If I use this enzyme at a higher concentration, do I need to change the concentration of APMA to activate it?
We have only optimized activation conditions for one particular concentration of this MMP enzyme as part of our regular QC testing for enzymatic activity. Activating the enzyme at any different concentration would have to be optimized by the end user.
-
Does this MMP enzyme need to be activated to work?
Yes, this enzyme requires activation prior to use.
-
What is the activity of this enzyme in units/µg?
We supply this enzyme as a mass and calculate its activity relative to mass (pmol/min/µg). We have not calibrated this enzyme to an international standard unit, so we are unable to provide a conversion to units/µg.

Reason for Rating: This enzyme was used to cleave a selection of FRET substrates for different MMPs and clearly cleaved the MMP9-specific peptide at the highest rate.
Incubating 1h at 37°C after addition of APMA was sufficient for activation.
Reason for Rating: The product was easy to dissolve and use in treating human chondrocytes, exhibiting proper enzymatic activity in vitro
rhMMP-9 was used to treat human chondrocytes to induce an enzymatic cleavage of chondrocytes extracellular proteins and produce several prolactin fragments. A comparison with several MMP’s showed a successful generation of fragments at concentrations ranging from 10 to 10000 ng, indicating the validity of the enzymatic activity of MMP-9
