Anti-MMP8 Antibody

Matrix metallopeptidase 8 (MMP8) is a zinc-dependent neutrophil collagenase that drives extracellular matrix turnover during inflammatory tissue remodeling, and the Antibodies.com rabbit polyclonal Anti-MMP8 Antibody is supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated IgG for Western blot detection in human and mouse samples. Research applications include studies of neutrophil function, collagen degradation pathways, and disease models linking dysregulated protease activity to periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling.

Working aliquots should be refrigerated to preserve antibody activity; for extended projects, freeze in single-use portions to limit freeze-thaw damage. The polyclonal host response delivers multi-epitope recognition of the target, useful when post-translational modifications, splice-variant differences, or species variation between human and mouse orthologs are central to the experimental design.
