Anti-MMP9 Antibody

MMP9, also known as gelatinase B or 92 kDa type IV collagenase, is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase central to extracellular matrix remodeling, leukocyte migration, angiogenesis, and inflammatory signaling. This Anti-MMP9 polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit and supplied as a 100 µl vial of unconjugated IgG, providing a flexible tool for laboratories investigating wound healing, tumor invasion, cardiovascular pathology, and chronic inflammatory conditions.

The reagent is intended for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and flow cytometry workflows, with reactivity demonstrated in human and rat samples. Its polyclonal format allows recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, which supports detection of the full-length pro-form of MMP9 as well as the shorter, catalytically active fragments that arise during proteolytic processing in inflamed or remodeling tissues. This breadth of reactivity is useful when studying MMP9 expression in tissue sections, cultured cell lines, and disaggregated primary cell populations.

Provided as a liquid reagent, the antibody is suitable for routine immunolabeling protocols. For research use only. Storage at -20 °C with aliquoting to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles is recommended to preserve binding activity across multiple experimental sessions.
