Anti-MMP-14 Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified by epitope-specific chromatograsphy from rabbit antiserum, this polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is designed to detect endogenous levels of total MMP-14 protein in human, mouse and rat samples. The unconjugated antibody is supplied as a 50 µl aliquot at 1.0 mg/mL, formulated in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) without Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, containing 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant. The immunogen is a synthesized peptide derived from human MMP-14, and the host species is rabbit, with the immunoglobulin fraction present as rabbit IgG. Validated applications include Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), making it suitable for membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase studies across a broad range of research samples. The product is shipped at 4 °C and, upon receipt, should be aliquoted and stored at -20 °C; repeated freeze/thaw cycles should be avoided to preserve reagent integrity. Available through AFMS, this primary antibody combines broad species reactivity with a robust polyclonal response to support reliable detection of MMP-14 in cell and tissue lysates.
