Relevance: Matrix Metalloproteinase 24 (MMP24, MT5MMP) has been described as a proteoglycanase, which is critical in the turnover of ECM (extracellular matrix) components in the brain. MMP24 contains a candidate signal sequence, a propeptide region, a potential furin recognition motif, a zinc-binding catalytic domain, a hemopexin-like domain, a 24-residue hydrophobic region, which acts as a potential transmembrane domain, and a short cytosolic domain. Unlike other MTMMPs, MMP24 (MT5MMP) sheds from the cell surface as soluble proteinases, allowing its versatility as both a cell bound and soluble proteinase in ECM remodeling processes. MMP24 is elevated in several tumor cell lines, and is also produced by some normal cell lines. It is predominantly expressed in the brain, indicating a role in nervous system development. MMP24 is also highly expressed during embryonic development. The mouse MMP24 gene maps to chromosome 2.

Product Notes
The Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase-5 (Catalog #AAA4157352) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase-5 (MT5-MMP, MMP-24), Propeptide Domain MMP-24 Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase-5 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). The antibody works well for Western Blotting applications, and when used against the reduced protein identifies bands at 65 Kd. The antibody recognizes only the zymogen of MMP-24, and not the activated forms. The antibody recognizes human and murine MMP-24. The antibody can recognize native or reduced MT5MMP, and has application for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, cell sorting and ELISA. MT5MMP has been reported to be elevated in several tumor cell lines, and is constituitively produced by some normal cell lines. MMP-24 is also found in brain tissue, along with other MT-MMP enzymes. Treatment of cells with Concanavolin-An or the phorbol ester TPA stimulates production of MT5MMP in some cell types, and the enzyme can be recovered in cell lysates. Shed forms of MT5MMP have also been reported. A recommended starting concentration for Western blots is 1:1000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1:5000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Higher concentration of antibody may be needed for non-human samples. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase-5 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 "Membrane-Type Matrix Metalloproteinase-5, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
