MMP-2 expression is dependent on extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN); Her2\/neu; growth factors; cytokines; and hormones. Pro-MMP-2 activation needs MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 contribution. MMP-2 is changed in distribution and increased in amount in the ventral cochlear nucleus after unilateral cochlear ablation. A low level of MMP-2 is linked to favorable prognosis in patients with a hormone receptor-negative tumor; usually associated with high risk. As a zymogen requiring proteolytic activation for catalytic activity; MMP-2 has been implicated broadly in the invasion and metastasis of many cancer model systems; including human breast cancer (HBC). Blocking MMP-2 secretion and activation during breast carcinoma development may decrease metastasis. The detection of active MMP-2 alone or the rate of pro-MMP-2 and active MMP-2 is considered a very sensitive indicator of cancer metastasis. Modulation of MMP-2 expression and activation through specific inhibitors and activators may thus provide a new mechanism for breast cancer treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSequence: Tyr 395-Cys 662\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePurity: \u0026gt; 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.\u003cbr\u003e\nNormally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEndotoxin: Please contact us for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalculated MW: 29.37 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eObserved MW: 35 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃.
