| Data Sheet for RP2MMP3 | |
| Product Name | Rabbit Antibody to Stromelysin-1 (MMP-3); Hinge region |
| Catalog Number | RP2MMP3 |
| Product size | 100 ug |
| Description | RP2MMP3 is a Rabbit antibody to the Matrix Metalloproteinase Stromelysin-1, made with a synthetic peptide based on the hinge region of the human sequence. The antibody does not cross react with the other Stromelysin forms (Stromelysin-2 and Stromelysin-3), nor to the other MMP family members (MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, etc). 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. |
Use
|
RP2MMP3 anti-MMP-3 works well for Western Blotting applications, and when used against the reduced protein identifies bands at 59 Kd and 57 Kd (the pro-form), as well as active forms. The antibody does not recognize the 21 Kd active form. RP2MMP3 will also bind to the non-reduced protein, and thus has application for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA uses. Stromelysin levels in quiescent cells and tissues are minimal, and stimulation or protein concentration is often needed to visualize the bands. In addition, cell types differ greatly in the quantity of Stromelysin produced. 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. FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS. |
| Storage | The undiluted antibody solution is stable for approximately 6 months at 4°C. For longer storage, store at -20°C. The solution is buffered from freezing at -20°C by 50% glycerol, but will freeze at -80°C. Avoid unnecessary freeze-thaw cycles. Diluted antibody can be reused several times if not contaminated; store at 4°C with 0.05% Sodium Azide as preservative. |
