Background/Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), also known as interstitial collagenase and fibroblast collagenase[1], is a member of the matrix metalloproteinases family. Matrix metalloproteinases are zinc-dependent proteases that degrade extracellular matrix proteins. MMP-1 is structurally formed by different proteic building blocks. The Catalytic Domain of MMP-1 is composed of five highly twisted beta-strands (sI-sV), three alpha-helix (hA-hC) and a total of eight loops, enclosing a total of five metal ions, three Ca2+ and two Zn2+, one of which with catalytic role.[2] MMP1 in the stromal-tumor microenvironment can alter the behavior of cancer cells through PAR1 to promote cell migration and invasion.[3] The biologic implications of MMP1 acting as a molecular ratchet tethered to the cell surface suggested novel mechanisms for its role in tissue remodeling and cell-matrix interaction.

Product Notes
The Human MMP-1 (Catalog #AAA355314) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355314 ELISA Kit recognizes Human MMP-1. AAA Biotech's MMP-1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of MMP-1 in human serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MMP-1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MMP-1, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
