MMP9 ist ein Gen, das durch das Symbol MMP9 kodiert wird. Im Allgemeinen auch bezeichnet als: Matrix metalloproteinase-9; MMP-9; 92 kDa gelatinase; 92 kDa type IV collagenase; Gelatinase B; GELB; CLG4B. MMP9 hat eine Masse von 78.46kDa, eine Aminosäurelänge von 707, und ist an folgenden Krankheiten beteiligt: Intervertebral disc disease; Metaphyseal anadysplasia 2.
Wir bieten 33 antikörper gegen MMP9, aufgewachsen in Kaninchen, Maus und Ziege, welche geeignet sind für WB, IHC, ELISA, ICC/IF, FC and IP mit Proben abgeleitet von Human, Maus und Ratte.
Gen- und Proteininformationen
UniProt Zusammenfassung
May play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.
Entrez Zusammenfassung
Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling.
Gewebespezifität
Detected in neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:7683678). Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
Rolle bei Krankheiten
Intervertebral disc disease: A common musculo-skeletal disorder caused by degeneration of intervertebral disks of the lumbar spine. It results in low-back pain and unilateral leg pain.
Metaphyseal anadysplasia 2: A bone development disorder characterized by skeletal anomalies that resolve spontaneously with age. Clinical characteristics are evident from the first months of life and include slight shortness of stature and a mild varus deformity of the legs. Patients attain a normal stature in adolescence and show improvement or complete resolution of varus deformity of the legs and rhizomelic micromelia.
Sequenzähnlichkeiten
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Posttranslationale Modifikation
Processing of the precursor yields different active forms of 64, 67 and 82 kDa. Sequentially processing by MMP3 yields the 82 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9.
