MMP-8, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-8 or collagenase-2, is recognized for its enzymatic abilities, particularly its ability to break down fibrillar types I, II, and III collagen. This enzymatic activity suggests that MMP-8 plays an important role in the remodeling and turnover of collagen-rich tissues such as connective tissue, cartilage, and bone. MMP-8 Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is the recombinant cynomolgus-derived MMP-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.
Molecular Weight:
Approximately 60-70 kDa,based on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions,due to the glycosylation.
