Anti-Cleaved-MMP-23 (Y79) Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified against the tyrosine-79 cleavage neo-epitope of matrix metalloproteinase 23, this unconjugated polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com enables selective western blot detection of the catalytically processed form of MMP-23 rather than its full-length zymogen. Cross-reactivity has been validated against human, mouse, and rat samples, making the reagent useful for comparative studies of regulated proteolysis and extracellular matrix remodeling across cell and tissue lysates. The antibody is supplied in a 100 µl volume at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, an aliquot-ready formulation that tolerates storage at -20 °C and repeated freeze-thaw cycles without appreciable loss of titer. Researchers investigating MMP activation, cleavage-site biology, or matrix turnover routinely apply it to standard immunoblotting workflows where distinguishing active fragments from precursor pools is essential.
