Description
MMP2 (gelatinase A) is a secreted/extracellular-matrix metalloproteinase implicated in ECM remodeling (e.g., gelatin/collagen-associated substrates) and matrix turnover (disease context: invasion/angiogenesis/fibrosis research, putative). Assay context: validated for ELISA and WB; frequently profiled alongside other matrix-remodeling markers such as MMP-9 (MMP9) and endogenous inhibitors like TIMP-3 (TIMP3) or TIMP-1 (TIMP1).
Storage & Handling

Background of MMP2
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) is a Type IV collagenase, 72-kD, which is also known as gelatinase and is a member of a group of secreted zinc metalloproteases. The MMP2 gene is 17 kb long with 13 exons varying in size from 110 to 901 bp and 12 introns ranging from 175 to 4,350 bp, located within a region of human chromosome 16q13. In addition, the extra exons encode the amino acids of the fibronectin-like domain which has so far been found in only the 72- and 92-kDa type IV collagenase. MMP2, which has a critical role in the binding of progelatinase A and TIMP4 via the C-terminal hemopexin-like domain (C domain), is functionally associated on the surface of angiogenic blood vessels. Not only is a likely effector of endometrial menstrual breakdown, MMP2 is also effector and regulator of the inflammatory response. Moreover, MMP2 could be helpful in diagnosing Takayasu arteritis.

Western blot analysis of MMP2 using anti-MMP2 antibody (A00286).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel at 80V (Stacking gel) / 120V (Resolving gel) for 2 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human U87 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: rat H9C2 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: mouse 3T3-L1 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-MMP2 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (A00286) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody (Catalog # BA1054) at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Catalog # AR1196-200) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for MMP2 at approximately 72 kDa. The expected band size for MMP2 is at 74 kDa.

Question
Will A00286 anti-MMP2 antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-03-23
Answer
It shows on the product datasheet, A00286 anti-MMP2 antibody as been validated on ELISA. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question
Can you help my question with product A00286, anti-MMP2 antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
K. Miller
Verified customer
Asked: 2015-11-02
Answer
We do not advise storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free A00286 anti-MMP2 antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.
