NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
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.

Uniprot Description
Function: 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. Ref.16
Catalytic activity: Cleavage of gelatin types I and V and collagen types IV and V. Ref.16
Cofactor: Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit.Binds 3 calcium ions per subunit.
Enzyme regulation: Inhibited by histatin-3 1/24 (histatin-5). Inhibited by ECM1. Ref.19 Ref.21
Subunit structure: Exists as monomer or homodimer; disulfide-linked. Exists also as heterodimer with a 25 kDa protein. Macrophages and transformed cell lines produce only the monomeric form. Interacts with ECM1. Ref.18 Ref.21 Ref.27
Subcellular location: Secreted › extracellular space › extracellular matrix
Probable.
Tissue specificity: Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
Induction: Activated by 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate and phorbol ester. Up-regulated by ARHGEF4, SPATA13 and APC via the JNK signaling pathway in colorectal tumor cells. Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.19 Ref.21 Ref.24
Domain: The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.
Post-translational modification: 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.N- and O-glycosylated. Ref.9
Involvement in disease: Intervertebral disc disease (IDD) [MIM:603932]: 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.Note: Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.22Metaphyseal anadysplasia 2 (MANDP2) [MIM:613073]: 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.Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Miscellaneous: In the arthritis patient this enzyme might contribute to the pathogenesis of joint destruction and might constitute a useful marker of disease status.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.Contains 3 fibronectin type-II domains.Contains 4 hemopexin repeats.

Product Notes
The Mouse MMP-9 mmp9 (Catalog #AAA355322) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355322 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse MMP-9. AAA Biotech's MMP-9 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of MMP-9 in mouse serum, plasma, body fluids, tissue lysates or cell culture supernatants. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MMP-9 mmp9 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-9, 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
