Anti-MMP-1 Antibody

This primary antibody from Antibodies.com targets MMP-1, the matrix metalloproteinase 1 enzyme responsible for cleaving fibrillar collagens during extracellular matrix turnover. Raised in rabbit as a polyclonal reagent and supplied unconjugated in a 100 µl vial, it is validated for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and ELISA workflows. Investigators studying connective tissue remodeling, wound healing, inflammatory joint disease, and tumor invasion pathways use this reagent to localize and quantify human MMP-1 expression across cell lysates, fixed tissue sections, and prepared samples. The antibody recognizes the native interstitial collagenase isoform and supports reproducible detection in standard immunoblotting and fluorescence-based imaging protocols. Each lot is supplied as a liquid aliquot ready for dilution into blocking buffer or antibody diluent, with the unconjugated format allowing flexible pairing with HRP, biotin, or fluorophore-conjugated secondary reagents. Store refrigerated between 2 to 8 degrees C and protect from light to preserve activity through the stated shelf life, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles by preparing working aliquots on first use.
