Background
Human macrophage elastase (MMP-12) is a member of the family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that plays, like other members of the family, an important role in inflammatory processes contributing to tissue remodeling and destruction. In particular, a prominent role of MMP-12 in the destruction of elastin in the lung alveolar wall and the pathogenesis of emphysema has been suggested. It is therefore an attractive therapeutic target (1). MMP-12) expressed mainly in alveolar macrophages has been identified in the mouse lung as the main destructive agent associated with cigarette smoking, which gives rise to emphysema, both directly via elastin degradation and indirectly by disturbing the proteinase/antiproteinase balance via inactivation of the alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha1-PI), the antagonist of the leukocyte elastase (2). Because elastin represents a critical component of aortic wall structure and a matrix substrate for metalloelastases, MMP-12 may have a direct and singular role in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms (3).

FAQs for MMP-12 Antibody (NBP1-31225). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQs).
Does this antibody detect the catalytic domain alone of this protein?
The immunogen for this protein is between amino acids 213 and 307 of MMP12 (UniProt ID#P39900). This corresponds to a portion of the Hemopexin-like 1 domain on UniProt and does not cover the whole catalytic domain (ZnMc_MMP) which is between amino acids 109 and 263. Please check NCBI Gene ID: 4321 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=4321) for more information.
