Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly homologous Zn2+ endopeptidases involved in extracellular matrix breakdown. MMP mediated extracellular remodeling occurs in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction and tissue remodeling, and disease processes, including arthritis and metastasis. MMP-23 exhibits sequence similarity with most MMPs, but displays a difference in domain structure. The MMP-23 protein contains prepro-, catalytic, cysteine-rich, Interleukin-1 receptor-related and proline-rich domains. Lacking a recognizable signal sequence, MMP-23 has a short prodomain. In addition, MMP-23 contains a single cysteine residue that can be part of the cysteine-switch mechanism operation for maintaining enzyme latency. MMP-23 is a membrane-anchored glycoprotein with type II topology. Subcellular localization is predominantly perinuclear.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: MMP-23 (V371) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MMP-23 protein.
