MMP-2 contains a number of distinct domains: a prodomain that is cleaved upon activation; a catalytic domain containing the zinc binding site; a fibronectin like domain believed to have a role in substrate targeting; and a carboxyl terminal (hemopexin like) domain containing 2 N-linked glycosylation. The MMP-2 can degrade an extensive array of substrates including type IV, V, VII and X collagens as well as gelatin type I. In addition, MMP-2 interacts with THBS2, TIMP2, Thrombospondin 1, CCL7 and TIMP4. MMP-2 autocatalytic cleavage in the C-terminal generates the anti-angiogenic peptide, PEX. This process seems to be made possible by binding integrinv\/beta3. Defects in the MMP-2 are the cause of Torg-Winchester syndrome (TWS), aka multicentric osteolysis nodulosis and arthropathy (MONA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-desc\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#1a5c58;margin:12px 0 4px\"\u003eBiological Activity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe activity was measured by its ability to cleave fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 (RND,Catalog # ES001)., The specific activity is \u0026gt; 1,000 pmoles\/min\/µg.Recombinant Human MMP-2 protein pro form needs to be activated with p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA).Activation Protocol:1. Dilute MMP2 to 100µg\/ml in the Assay Buffer: 50mM Tris, 10mM CaCl2, 150mM NaCl, 0.05% (w\/v) and Brij 35, pH 7.5.2. Activate MMP2 by adding APMA to a final concentration of 1mM. (Sigma, Catalog # A9563) and 100mM stock in DMSO.3. Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bhp-desc\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#1a5c58;margin:12px 0 4px\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:0.92em\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 8px;background:#e8f4f3;width:180px;font-weight:bold\"\u003ePurity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003eGreater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 8px;background:#e8f4f3;width:180px;font-weight:bold\"\u003eFormulation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003eThe MMP-2 is supplied as a 0.2µm filtered solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl and 0.05% Brij 35, pH 7.4.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:4px 8px;background:#e8f4f3;width:180px;font-weight:bold\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:4px 8px\"\u003eStore MMP-2 at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks.
