Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1) serves as a critical enzyme in extracellular matrix remodeling, functioning as the primary interstitial collagenase responsible for degrading fibrillar collagens. This proteolytic activity places MMP1 at the center of numerous physiological and pathological processes, including wound healing, tissue development, tumor invasion, and metastasis. Researchers investigating cancer biology, fibrosis, inflammatory conditions, and connective tissue disorders frequently require reliable tools to monitor MMP1 expression across experimental systems.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 2B5, offers the reproducibility essential for longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs through recombinant expression in rabbit host cells, researchers can expect consistent performance across different lots, eliminating the variability that can compromise experimental comparisons over time.
Validation studies demonstrate robust detection across diverse sample types, with successful Western blot performance confirmed in human cell lines including U-87MG glioblastoma, HEK293, A375 melanoma, and A549 lung carcinoma cells, as well as rat stomach tissue. This cross-species reactivity between human and rat samples provides flexibility for researchers working with both clinical specimens and rodent model systems. The observed band at approximately 55 kDa aligns closely with the predicted molecular weight of 54 kDa, with the slight difference likely attributable to post-translational modifications common to secreted proteases. Optimal Western blot results have been achieved at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:2000, allowing researchers to optimize signal intensity for their specific experimental conditions.
This antibody supports investigations into tumor microenvironment dynamics, tissue remodeling mechanisms, and MMP1's emerging roles in inflammatory signaling pathways.
