MMP-1 Antibody (SB12e) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody engineered to detect the human matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) protein, also known as interstitial collagenase, fibroblast collagenase, or collagenase-1. MMP-1 monoclonal antibody (SB12e) targets the full-length human MMP-1 protein, ensuring precise binding and reliable detection in various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MMP-1 is predominantly located in the extracellular matrix, where MMP-1 plays a crucial role in the degradation of key extracellular components such as collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin, and proteoglycans. This localization is essential for processes like tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis, as MMP-1 facilitates cellular migration and invasion necessary for these physiological functions. MMP-1 activity is tightly regulated by cellular signaling pathways, including downregulation by the tumor suppressor protein p53, which is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing excessive tissue degradation. MMP-1 requires calcium and zinc ions for enzymatic activity, a characteristic feature of the matrix metalloproteinase family. Additionally, MMP-1 interacts with other metalloproteinases such as MMP-9 (gelatinase B) to degrade bone collagens, contributing to osteoclastic bone resorption and playing a role in pathological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Available in a non-conjugated form, MMP-1 (SB12e) antibody is ideal for research in fields such as oncology, arthritis, and tissue engineering, providing reliable performance and specificity to support your scientific endeavors.
