Preparation and Storage

Background: MMP-24/MT5-MMP

MMP-24, also known as MT5-MMP, is a 62-65 kDa member of the M10 metallopeptidase family, a subfamily of MMPs. It is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is converted into a 58 kDa active form (amino acids [aa] 129-618) following removal of its propeptide. Proteolytic cleavage after Arg554 generates a 52 kDa active, soluble form that undergoes further cleavage in to 27-34 kDa fragment. MMP-24 has restricted expression, being found on neurons, mast cells, neural stem cells and ependymal cells lining the ventricles of the brain. It is known to cleave chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, pro-MMP-2, and N-Cadherin. Its activation of MMP-2 likely contributes to neurite outgrowth, while its cleavage of N-Cadherin in-trans between neural stem cells and ependymal initiates stem cell expansion and proliferation. Over amino acids 125-296, mouse MMP-24 shares 100% and 99% aa sequence identity with rat and human MMP-24, respectively.
