Anti-MMP2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2, also called Gelatinase A or 72 kDa type IV collagenase), this unconjugated polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is intended for researchers studying extracellular matrix turnover, tumor invasion, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling pathways. The reagent is supplied as 100 µl of liquid antiserum and is validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows, with reactivity confirmed against human, mouse, and rat samples in the supporting datasheet. MMP-2 is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that cleaves type IV collagen and gelatin substrates; detecting it by western blot around the expected 72 kDa band, or localizing it in tissue sections by IHC, supports studies in oncology, wound healing, fibrosis, and cardiovascular disease models where MMP-2 expression is being investigated as a biomarker or mechanistic variable. Conjugate-free format lets end users couple the antibody to HRP, biotin, or fluorophores of their own choice for tailored detection chemistry.
