Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated whencleaved by extracellular proteinases. This gene encodes an enzyme which degrades fibronectin, laminin, collagens III,IV, IX, and X, and cartilage proteoglycans. The enzyme is thought to be involved in wound repair, progression ofatherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome11q22.3.;Description:Sheep Anti-Human MMP3 Polyclonal Antibody;Host Species:Sheep;Species Reactivity:Human;Application:Blot, ELISA;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
