Anti-MMP9 Antibody

A rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com targeting matrix metalloproteinase 9, a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that cleaves denatured collagen and gelatin during extracellular matrix remodeling. The unconjugated antibody is supplied as a 50 µl liquid aliquot, ready for direct incorporation into western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, and flow cytometry workflows without prior conjugation.

Specificity has been confirmed against both human and rat MMP9, supporting translational pipelines that compare rodent disease models with human tissue or cell-line samples. The MMP9 target is widely tracked in oncology research as a marker of metastatic potential and tumor invasion, in cardiovascular studies of plaque instability and aneurysm progression, and in inflammatory and wound healing investigations where the enzyme reflects neutrophil and macrophage activity.

For daily use, refrigerate the vial at 4°C. For longer-term storage, aliquot the reagent and freeze to limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles that erode IgG binding activity. The reagent is validated for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
