MMP-3, produced in HEK293 cells is a proform of the Human MMP3 [Tyr18-Cys477 (Lys45Glu)] and fused with a ployhistide tag at the C-terminus, having an Mw of 52 kDa. MMP-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms: Stromelysin-1, EC 3.4.24.17, Matrix metalloproteinase-3, MMP-3, Transin-1, SL-1, STMY, STR1, STMY1, MGC126102, MGC126103, MGC126104.
Formulation: The MMP-3 is supplied as a 0.2µm filtered solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, 150mM NaCl and 0.05% Brij35, pH 7.5.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Source: HEK293 cells.
Uniprot ACC number: P08254
Transportation method: Shipped with Ice Packs.
Stability: Store at +4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity: The activity was measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate, Mca-RPKPVE-Nval-WRK(Dnp)-NH2. The specific activity is > 150 pmoles/min/µg. Recombinant Human MMP-3 protein pro form needs to be activated with Chymotrypsin. Activation Protocol:1. Dilute MMP3 to 20µg/ml in the Assay Buffer: 50mM Tris, 10mM CaCl2, 150mM NaCl, 0.05% (w/v) and Brij 35, pH 7.5.2. Activate MMP3 by adding Chymotrypsin(Sigma, Catalog#C3142,1mg/ml stock in 1mM HCl) to a final concentration of 5ug/ml.3. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes.4. Stop activation with 2mM PMSF. Pre-warm the PMSF to 37°C prior to adding to sample.
