| Mouse anti Human MMP-1 antibody, clone 3B6 recognizes human matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1), also known as interstitial or fibroblast collagenase, a 469 amino acid, in the pro-peptide form, zinc-dependent endopeptidase responsible for degrading the extracellular matrix. MMPs are also involved in cell proliferation, migration, differentiation and apoptosis (Chen et al. 2013). Most MMP’s are synthesised as inactive zymogens and a propeptide region must be cleaved off before the enzyme becomes active (Nagase et al. 1992). MMP expression is increased dramatically in a variety of cancer types, where it indicates invasive disease and a poor prognosis (Murray et al. 1996). MMP-1 is one of the collagenases, capable of degrading collagens I, II and III, all main components of the interstitial stroma (Robichaud et al. 2011). MMP-1 is overexpressed in invasive melanoma, colorectal and esophageal cancers (Langenskiöld et al. 2013). MMP-1 has also been implicated in arthritis and may influence atherosclerotic lesion formation (Nikkari et al. 1995) . Additionally, MMP-1 has been implicated in the repair processes of the heart after myocardial infarction (Yarbrough et al. 2003). Mouse anti Human MMP-1 has been used successfully for the detection of MMP-1 in gastric cancer by both Western blotting and immunohistochemistry (Murray et al. 1998). |
