Cat. No.	Z101815
Name	Recombinant Human MMP2 (E. coli)
Description	MMP-2 belongs to a family of endoproteases which need calcium and zinc in order to exert their catalytic capability (extracellular matrix remodeling). The elevated expression of these enzymes has been linked to many degenerative disorders, such as arthritis, cancer metastasis and skeletal growth-plate disorders. It has been shown that MMP-2 associates with many connective tissue cells as well as neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
