Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Degrades casein, gelatins of types I, III, IV, and V, and fibronectin. Activates procollagenase (By similarity). .
Scientific background (datasheet): Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) previously called putative metalloproteinase I (PUMP1) or matrilysin. The MMP-7 gene has been identified through studies of collagenase-related connective-tissue-degrading metalloproteinases produced by human tumors. The MMP-7 protein has 267 amino acids and is significantly shorter than stromelysin or collagenase (477 and 469 amino acids, respectively). Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis. MMP-7, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is structurally different from the other matrix metalloproteinases by virtue of the absence of a conserved COOH-terminal protein domain. In addition, MMP-7 mRNA is regulated in a specific and distinct manner in normal and malignant tissues. MMP-7 has been shown to correlate with nodal or distant metastasis in colorectal carcinomas, however, its implication in early invasive colorectal carcinomas has not been determined. MMP-7 is also a mediator of pulmonary fibrosis and a potential therapeutic target. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MMP-7, consisting of 250 amino acids with the molecular mass of 28KDa. The detected MMP-7 includes zymogen and active enzyme.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix .
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely distributed in various tissues.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Angiogenesis,Cancer,Cardiovascular,Cell Biology,Cytoskeleton/ECM,ECM Enzymes,Extracellular Matrix,Invasion/Microenvironment,Metalloprotease,Proteolysis/Ubiquitin,Proteolytic Enzymes,Signal Transduction,Tumor Biomarkers.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
