Overview

The MMP-13 (Catalytic Domain), human recombinant is a vital enzyme in the family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), renowned for their role in tissue remodeling and matrix degradation. This enzyme is secreted initially as a 60-kDa proenzyme and is activated upon cleavage to become the mature 48-kDa form. MMP-13 targets key components like collagen, gelatin, aggrecan, plasminogen, and CXCL12, making it essential for research in areas such as tissue repair, bone remodeling, and the menstrual cycle.

FAQ

What is MMP-13 used for in research?

MMP-13 is crucial in studies related to tissue remodeling, bone biology, and the repair of connective tissues. Its ability to break down various extracellular matrix components makes it a key player in understanding these biological processes.

How is MMP-13 activated?

The native MMP-13 is synthesized as an inactive 60-kDa proenzyme. It undergoes proteolytic cleavage to become the active 48-kDa enzyme, which is instrumental in various physiological functions.

Can I use MMP-13 in my assays?

Yes, the MMP-13 (Catalytic Domain), human recombinant is specifically designed for use in assays and experiments, providing a reliable tool for your research needs.
