Anti-MMP-16 Antibody

This primary antibody from Antibodies.com is a rabbit polyclonal reagent raised against MMP-16 (matrix metalloproteinase-16), a member of the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase family also referred to as MT-MMP 3 and MT3-MMP, among other designations. The unconjugated antibody is validated for Western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) and reacts with human, mouse and rat samples. The manufacturer datasheet states that the immunogen is a synthesized peptide derived from human MMP-16, and that the antibody detects endogenous levels of total MMP-16 protein.

The reagent is supplied as rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. It was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum using the epitope-specific immunogen. Storage instructions indicate shipment at 4°C, with aliquoting and storage at −20°C upon delivery and avoidance of freeze/thaw cycles. The catalogue entry references three scientific validation images.
