Anti-MMP-13 Antibody

Offered by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified reagent is a rabbit-derived polyclonal reagent raised against a synthesized peptide from the N-terminal region of human MMP-13 (Collagenase 3 / Matrix metalloproteinase-13), enabling selective detection of endogenous MMP-13 protein. It is supplied as a 50 µl liquid aliquot at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, and is unconjugated to allow flexible downstream labelling. The antibody is of the IgG isotype and has been validated for ELISA, Western Blot, immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC/IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications, with demonstrated reactivity against human, mouse and rat samples. For handling, the vial is shipped at 4 °C and should be aliquoted upon arrival and stored at −20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve performance. Each lot is affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by epitope-specific affinity chromatography, providing a reliable tool for researchers investigating collagenase activity, extracellular matrix turnover and related pathways in normal and disease-state tissues.
