Product Overview
MMP28 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MMP28 protein.
Epilysin, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-28 (MMP-28), is a secreted protein that belongs to the peptidase M10A family. Matrix metalloproteinase proteins are responsible for the breakdown of the extracellular matrix which is important for normal physiological processes such as tissue remodeling, reproduction and embryonic development. Epilysin is produced by proliferating keratinocytes and is responsible for mediating the degradation of casein. Its expression is upregulated in response to injury of the skin suggesting that Epilysin may be involved in tissue repair and homeostasis.

This antibody has been validated for WB. Always refer to the product datasheet for recommended dilution ranges and appropriate positive control samples for each application type.
Validated reactivity has been confirmed for Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-reactivity with additional species may exist based on sequence homology but has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. For unlisted species, we recommend running a preliminary validation experiment.
This antibody was raised in Rabbit. For indirect detection (WB, IHC, IF), select an anti-Rabbit secondary antibody that matches the isotype. For direct detection, check the variant selector for conjugated formats. Confirm secondary antibody compatibility before ordering.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human, Mouse, Rat samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
