Anti-MMP20 Antibody

This polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets MMP20 (matrix metallopeptidase 20, also known as enamelysin), a tooth-enamel-specific protease expressed by ameloblasts during odontogenesis. The reagent is raised in rabbit, supplied as 100 µL of unconjugated antiserum, and validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry on human and mouse samples. Researchers studying amelogenesis imperfecta, enamel biomineralization, and amelogenin processing rely on MMP20 detection to track secretory-stage ameloblast activity in tissue sections and to confirm protein expression in developing molar and incisor extracts. The unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with HRP- or fluorophore-labeled secondary reagents, supporting chromogenic or fluorescent detection depending on the workflow. Useful for fixed tissue staining of decalcified dental sections and for immunoblotting of tooth germ lysates prepared from mouse first molars or human third-molar germ tissue.
