Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of secreted or membrane-associated zinc endopeptidases capable of digesting extracellular matrix components. MMP-12 (macrophage elastase) is involved in smoke-induced emphysema, tumor and other diseases. MMP-12 is secreted as a 54-kDa zymogen and becomes the mature 45-kDa active form after proteolytic cleavage. MMP-12 has a broad range of substrates, including α-1 proteinase inhibitor, α-2 antiplasmin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, collagen IV, laminin, fibronectin, elastin, but not interstitial collagens.
The sequence (Accession # NP_002417) corresponding to the catalytic domain (aa 106-267) of Human MMP-12 was expressed in E. coli. The recombinant human MMP-12 was purified from bacterial lysate and refolded using proprietary technique. The molecular weight of the recombinant Human MMP-12 Catalytic Domain is 18 kDa.
