Background | The Quantikine Human Pro-MMP-1 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure Pro-MMP-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human Pro-MMP-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. The antibodies will not recognize recombinant human active MMP-1 or TIMP bound MMP-1. Natural human Pro-MMP-1 showed dose-response cur...ves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards, indicating that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values of natural human Pro-MMP-1.

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of 24 known human zinc proteases with essential roles in breaking down components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Additional MMP substrates include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and binding proteins, cell/cell adhesion molecules, and other proteinases. With a few exceptions, MMPs share common structural motifs including a pro-peptide domain, a catalytic domain, a hinge region, and a hemopexin-like domain. Synthesized as pro-enzymes, most MMPs are secreted before conversion to their active form. MMP activities are modulated on several levels including transcription, pro-enzyme activation, or by their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). A subset of MMPs are associated with membranes and designated as membrane-type metalloproteinases (MT-MMP).
