Description

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), also known as gelatinase A or 72 kD type IV collagenase, is a member of a broad family of MMPs, which are zinc-dependent enzymes that break down extracellular matrix proteins as part of their primary functions. MMP-2 is secreted in its 72 kD latent pro form from many cell types including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, platelets, and tumor cells. It exists as a monomer and can form a homodimer that is known to regulate pro-MMP- 2 activation. When its pro-domain is cleaved by proteases such as MMP-14 and thrombin, it becomes the active 62 kD mature form. Activated MMP-2 degrades collagenase of the basement membrane and gelatin as well as several chemokines and cytokines. MMP-2 can also bind to other proteins, such as the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs). Specifically, TIMP-2 is able to bind to MMP-2 and MMP-14 to form a complex that regulates MMP-2 activation on the cell surface.

MMP-2 is closely related to MMP-9, although it only shares 46% amino acid sequence identity. Human MMP-2 shares significant {>95%) amino acid sequence identity with MMP-2 from other species, including non­human primates, equine, porcine, mouse, bovine, and rat.

MMP-2 plays important roles in vasculature remodeling, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. MMP-2 is a potential biomarker for many diseases and conditions, as it is involved in tumor metastasis, inflammatory conditions, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and myocardial infarction.

The LEGEND MAX™ Human Total MMP-2 Sandwich Enzyme-Linked lmmunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit includes a 96-well strip plate that is pre­ coated with a mouse monoclonal anti-human MMP-2 antibody. The Detection Antibody is a biotinylated rabbit polyclonal anti-human MMP-2 antibody. This kit is specifically designed to accurately measure MMP-2, including Pro MMP-2, Mature MMP-2, and Mature MMP-2/TIMP-2 complex. This kit has been analytically validated to assess MMP-2 levels in cell culture supernatant, serum, and heparin plasma samples with ready­ to-use reagents.

Related FAQs

In your LEGEND MAX™ ELISA Kits, there is a step that calls for washing the plates before adding sample. What is the purpose of this step?

We typically use a stabilizer for pre-coated plates. The additional washing step is designed to remove these components before you start the assay. If you do not perform the washing, the effect on assay performance is negligible.

I have multiple LEGEND MAX™ ELISA kits that I want to run simultaneously. Can I use the same wash buffer for all the kits?

The wash buffer provided in all our LEGEND MAX™ kits is the same and the part numbers on the wash buffer bottles in these kits should be identical. For ELISA MAX™ Deluxe and ELISA MAX™ Standard Sets, we provide a recipe for the wash buffer on each kit’s technical data sheet. This recipe is the same for all ELISA MAX™ sets.

For some of your ELISA kits, why do my serum samples require dilution with assay buffer?

In some cases, dilution with assay buffer is required to minimize the matrix difference between the samples and the standards to achieve better accuracy.
