Host
Rabbit
Reactivity
Human
Clonality
Polyclonal
Isotype
IgG
Specificity
This antibody recognizes the Propeptide region of MMP13. The Propeptide region is shed during enzymatic activation of MMP13, and the antibody does not recognize the activated forms. The antibody can thus be used to discriminate between the zymogen and activated MMP13.

Immunogen Affinity Purified
Form/Format
Liquid; PBS, pH 7.4 with 0.05% sodium azide.

Applicable Applications for anti-MMP-13 antibody
Western Blot (WB)
Application Notes
The antibody recognizes the Propeptide region of MMP-13 (collagenase-3). The Propeptide region is shed during enzymatic activation of MMP-13, and the antibody does not recognize the activated forms. RP4MMP13 can thus be used to discriminate between the zymogen and activated MMP-13. RP4MMP13 anti-Collagenase-3 works well for Western Blotting applications, and when used against the reduced protein identifies a band at 60 Kd. Collagenase-3 was first identified in tumor cells, but has since been found in synoviocytes and normal fibroblasts stimulated by IL-6 or a combination of TNF-a and IL-1. In rodents, MMP-13 is thought to fill the role of MMP-1, which they appear to lack. Human tissues may express both MMP-1 and MMP-13. The low endogenous protein levels may require concentration of samples by ultrafiltration or ammonium sulfate precipitation prior to Western blotting. A recommended starting concentration for Western blots is 1:3,000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1:6,000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Higher concentration of antibody may be needed for non-human samples.

Description: The antibody is a Rabbit antibody to Collagenase-3 (MMP-13), made to a synthetic peptide based on the propeptide region of human MMP-13. The antibody binds to Collagenase-3, but does not cross react with the other MMP family members (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9). RP3MMP13 recognizes the latent proenzyme, at 60 Kd, as well as the active form at 48 Kd, and intermediate activation forms. The antibody has been peptide-affinity purified, concentrated to 1 mg/ml, with the addition of Sodium Azide as preservative and 50% glycerol as cryoprotectant.
Relevance: Collagenase 3 (MMP13) is a secreted 452 residue protein which is released from cells as aninactive zymogen and activated extracellularly by removal of its propeptide. MMP13 was first identified in tumor cells but has since been found in synoviocytes and normal fibroblasts stimulated by IL6 or a combination of TNF alpha and IL1. Under normal conditions, MMP13 is expressed during embryogenesis (fetal bone development) and is present only at very low levels in adult tissue. However, this enzyme is reported to be involved in the development and metastasis of breast and lung carcinomas, chondrosarcomas and osteosarcomas, head and neck carcinomas and some forms of skin cancer. Additionally, this enzyme plays an important role in degenerative bone diseases including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In rodents, MMP13 is thought to fill the role of MMP1, which they appear to lack. The low endogenous MMP13 protein levels may require concentration of samples by ultrafiltration or ammonium sulfate precipitation prior to Western blotting.

Product Notes
The MMP-13 (Catalog #AAA4157316) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-MMP-13 (Collagenase-3) Propeptide Region Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's MMP-13 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). The antibody recognizes the Propeptide region of MMP-13 (collagenase-3). The Propeptide region is shed during enzymatic activation of MMP-13, and the antibody does not recognize the activated forms. RP4MMP13 can thus be used to discriminate between the zymogen and activated MMP-13. RP4MMP13 anti-Collagenase-3 works well for Western Blotting applications, and when used against the reduced protein identifies a band at 60 Kd. Collagenase-3 was first identified in tumor cells, but has since been found in synoviocytes and normal fibroblasts stimulated by IL-6 or a combination of TNF-an and IL-1. In rodents, MMP-13 is thought to fill the role of MMP-1, which they appear to lack. Human tissues may express both MMP-1 and MMP-13. The low endogenous protein levels may require concentration of samples by ultrafiltration or ammonium sulfate precipitation prior to Western blotting. A recommended starting concentration for Western blots is 1:3,000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1:6,000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Higher concentration of antibody may be needed for non-human samples. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MMP-13 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-13, 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
