MMP-8 Protein, Cynomolgus (447a.a, HEK293, His)

MMP-8, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic abilities, particularly its ability to break down fibrillar types I, II, and III collagen. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays an important role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues such as connective tissue, cartilage, and bone. MMP-8 Protein, Cynomolgus (447a.a, HEK293, His) is the recombinant cynomolgus-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of MMP-8 Protein, Cynomolgus (447a.a, HEK293, His) is 447 a.a., with molecular weight of 60-70 kDa.

MMP-8, also referred to as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic capabilities and specifically its ability to break down fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays a significant role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues, such as connective tissues, cartilage, and bone. By degrading these fibrillar collagens, MMP-8 can contribute to processes such as tissue remodeling, wound healing, and inflammation resolution. Understanding the precise functions and regulation of MMP-8 can provide valuable insights into its involvement in collagen metabolism and tissue remodeling, potentially offering therapeutic opportunities for conditions characterized by abnormal collagen degradation or accumulation.
