Background
The 92-kD type IV collagenase is also known as 92-kD gelatinase, type V collagenase, gelatinase B, or matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). The 72- and 92-kDa type IV collagenases are members of a group of secreted zinc metalloproteases.1 The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are able to degrade the extracellular matrix and allow angiogenesis and tumor invasion.2 Gelatinase B, a matrix metalloproteinase that has proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins, has been suggested to be important in the connective tissue remodeling processes associated with atherogenesis and plaque rupture.3 MMP-9 is predominantly expressed in neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells, rather than in oncogene-positive neoplastic cells.4 The polymorphism of MMP-9 acts as a genetic factor for the development of smoking-induced pulmonary emphysema.5 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant mouse MMP-9 with the molecular mass of 95KDa. The detected MMP-9 includes zymogen and active enzyme.
