Polyclonal

Rabbit Ig

Rabbit

This MMP20 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 399-428 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human MMP20.

Peptide Affinity Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Pab)

Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Vial Concentration: 0.5 (lot specific)

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8 degree C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20 degree C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Small volumes of anti-MMP20 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

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 protein encoded by this gene
degrades amelogenin, the major protein component of dental enamel
matrix, and so the protein is thought to play a role in tooth
enamel formation. A mutation in this gene, which alters the normal
splice pattern and results in premature termination of the encoded
protein, has been associated with amelogenesis imperfecta. This
gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes that localizes to chromosome
11q22.3.

MMP20: Degrades amelogenin, the major protein component of the enamel matrix and two of the macromolecules characterizing the cartilage extracellular matrix: aggrecan and the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). May play a central role in tooth enamel formation. Defects in MMP20 are the cause of amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A2 (AI2A2). AI2A2 is an autosomal recessive defect of enamel formation. The disorder involves both primary and secondary dentitions. The teeth have a shiny agar jelly appearance and the enamel is softer than normal. Brown pigment is present in middle layers of enamel. Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
