Anti-MMP28 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets MMP28, also known as Epilysin, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family involved in extracellular matrix remodeling. The reagent is produced in rabbit hosts and purified as an IgG immunoglobulin, supplied unconjugated in a 100 µl vial ready for use in user-prepared detection workflows.

MMP28 (matrix metalloproteinase 28) is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase expressed in human epithelia and several other tissues, where it contributes to basement membrane and matrix turnover. The polyclonal antibody recognizes epitopes on the human MMP28 protein sequence and has been validated on Western blot and immunohistochemistry applications, supporting studies of tissue-specific expression patterns, injury response, and epithelial remodeling in research settings.

For Western blot work, the antibody can be used to probe cell or tissue lysates for the MMP28 band. For immunohistochemistry, it can be applied to fixed tissue sections to localize the protease in epithelial structures and surrounding stromal compartments. The unconjugated format gives researchers flexibility to pair the reagent with HRP, biotin, or fluorescent secondary antibodies suited to their experimental design.

Store refrigerated at 4 °C for short-term use; for longer-term storage, aliquot the antibody and freeze at -20 °C. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity. Intended for research use only, not for clinical diagnostic procedures.
