Description	Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling.
Immunogen	Purified recombinant fragment of human MMP9 expressed in E. Coli.
Formulation	Ascitic fluid containing 0.03% sodium azide.

Protein Information
Name	MMP9
Synonyms	CLG4B
Function	Matrix metalloproteinase that plays an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration (PubMed:12879005, PubMed:1480034, PubMed:2551898). Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption (By similarity). Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-\|-Leu bond (PubMed:12879005). Cleaves NINJ1 to generate the Secreted ninjurin-1 form (PubMed:32883094). Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N- terminal one quarter fragments (PubMed:1480034). Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.
Cellular Location	Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix
Tissue Location	Detected in neutrophils (at protein level) (PubMed:7683678). Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
