Anti-MMP-7 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against the matrix metalloproteinase-7 target, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent is supplied by Antibodies.com as a 100 µL aliquot for western blot, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA workflows. MMP-7 (matrilysin) is the smallest member of the MMP family and cleaves extracellular matrix and cell-surface substrates, and it is widely studied in epithelial biology, wound repair, and tumor invasion contexts where its expression becomes dysregulated.

This antibody has been used to detect endogenous MMP-7 in human tumor tissue sections, mouse models of intestinal inflammation, and rat models of organ injury, with reactivity also reported against monkey samples. Because the reagent is unconjugated, it can be paired with a secondary antibody of the researcher's choice for chromogenic or fluorescent detection in IHC, and it is compatible with standard western blot and ELISA buffer conditions.

Storage and handling: keep the vial refrigerated and protect from light; aliquot if repeated freeze-thaw cycles are anticipated to maintain titre over the shelf life of the reagent. For research use only, this polyclonal reagent is intended for laboratory investigation of MMP-7 expression and not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
