Anti-MMP-2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified by epitope-specific chromatography, this polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com targets endogenous matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), also known as 72 kDa type IV collagenase, CLG4A, Gelatinase A, and TBE-1. The immunogen is a synthesized peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human MMP-2, and the unconjugated IgG antibody is supplied as a 50 µL aliquot at 1 mg/mL in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.02% sodium azide. It is validated for ELISA, Western blot, immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry workflows, with cross-reactivity confirmed in human, mouse, rat, and monkey samples. The vial is shipped at 4 °C and should be aliquoted and stored at –20 °C upon arrival, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve performance. Intended for research use only, this lot provides a flexible option for labs studying ECM remodeling, invasion, and gelatinase activity across multiple model systems.
