MMP17, also known as membrane-type 4 matrix metalloproteinase (MT4-MMP), represents a distinctive member of the membrane-anchored MMP family that plays important roles in extracellular matrix remodeling and cellular signaling processes. Unlike secreted MMPs, MT4-MMP is tethered to the cell surface through a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, positioning it to regulate pericellular proteolysis in cardiovascular tissues and other biological contexts. This unique localization makes MMP17 a compelling target for researchers investigating vascular biology, tissue remodeling, and related pathological processes.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 3G3, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Developed using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this rabbit IgG eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The antibody was raised against a synthesized peptide derived from human MMP17 protein and purified by affinity chromatography to ensure specificity.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates this antibody's versatility in your research applications. Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded human brain tissue at 1:100 dilution reveals clear target detection using standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval on automated staining systems. Flow cytometry analysis using A431 cells confirms reliable performance in single-cell applications, with distinct positive signal separation from isotype control when used at 1:100 dilution on fixed and permeabilized cells.
Whether you are investigating MMP17's contributions to cardiovascular remodeling, examining its expression patterns across human tissues, or characterizing its role in cellular processes, this antibody provides a dependable tool with validated performance across immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry applications.
