General description
MT1-MMP plays an important role during endothelial cell migration and matrix remodeling. Although the role of MT1-MMP in endothelial cell motility is not fully characterized, its activity appears to modulate endothelial migration, invasion, and formation of capillary tubes during the angiogenic response (Galvez, 2001). Mt1-MMP also appears to play a key role in monocyte revruitment during inflammation (Salomon, 2005).
Specificity
LEM-2/15.8 reacts with human MT1-MMP and displays crossreactivity with mouse specimens. This antibody was generated against the catalytic domain of MT1-MMP and is able to inhibit enzyme activity.
Immunogen
Epitope: catalytic domain
Synthetic peptide: amino acid sequence 218-233 within the catalytic domain
Application
Detect MMP-14 using this Anti-MMP-14 Antibody, catalytic domain, clone LEM-2/15.8 validated for use in ELISA, IP & WB.
