Overview
Get the MMP-12 (Catalytic Domain), human recombinant, an essential tool for your research in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMP-12, also known as macrophage elastase, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes and is particularly significant in studies related to smoke-induced emphysema and tumor progression. This human recombinant protein is secreted as a 54-kDa zymogen and matures into a 45-kDa active peptide following proteolytic cleavage. For researchers focusing on extracellular matrix components, this is a reliable product to advance your work.
