Anti-MMP2 Antibody

MMP-2 (gelatinase A) is a zinc-dependent matrix metalloproteinase that degrades type IV collagen and denatured gelatin, making it a frequent target in studies of cancer invasion, angiogenesis, and vascular remodeling. This Rabbit polyclonal antibody reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied at 100 µl per vial, unconjugated, and validated for western blot and immunofluorescence workflows on human samples. The polyclonal host response broadens epitope recognition across the protein, supporting detection of both the ~72 kDa pro-form and the ~62 kDa activated species commonly resolved by SDS-PAGE. Researchers apply this reagent to profile MMP-2 expression in carcinoma cell lines, endothelial cell cultures, and tissue cryosections where basement membrane turnover is of interest. Storage at -20 °C in working aliquots allows repeated freeze-thaw handling while preserving binding activity for ongoing matrix biology and metastatic signaling studies.
