Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9), also known as 92 kDa type IV collagenase, 92 kDa gelatinase or gelatinase B (GELB), is a matrixin, a class of enzymes that belong to the zinc-metalloproteinases family involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix. MMP-9, along with elastase, appears to be a regulatory factor in neutrophil migration across the basement membrane.MMP-9 plays several important functions within neutrophil action, such as degrading extracellular matrix, activation of IL-1β, and cleavage of several chemokines. In a mouse model, MMP-9 deficiency resulted in resistance to endotoxin shock, suggesting that MMP-9 is important in sepsis. MMP-9 is greatly upregulated during human respiratory epithelial healing. Using a MMP-9 deficient mouse model, it was seen that MMP-9 coordinated epithelial wound repair and deficient mice were unable to remove the fibrinogen matrix during wound healing. MMP-9 has been found to be associated with numerous pathological processes, including cancer, immunologic and cardiovascular diseases. Diseases also associated with MMP-9 include metaphyseal anadysplasia 2 and metaphyseal anadysplasia.
