Product Description | Recombinant Human MMP-8 Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. The protein needs to be activated by APMA to have hydrolytic activity.It contains Phe21-Gly467. |
Product Background |
Alteration of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) expression has been studied for various cardiac diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), with the significance of surrogate markers of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. MMP-8 was identified only in myocardiocytes, while MMP-9 and TIMP-2 were present in both myocardiocytes and stroma, but with different intensity. The increasing intensity of MMP-8 and TIMP-2 immunoreactions was significantly associated with low HCS. |
