MMP inhibitor profiling kit
Thursday, 26 April, 2007
The matrix metalloproteins, or MMPs, are extracellular proteases that function at a neutral pH to cleave a wide variety of substrates.
This broad range of substrate specificities and expression patterns results in their involvement in many different processes, both normal and pathological.
The MMP Inhibitor Profiling Kit from BIOMOL International is a complete assay system designed to examine the specificity of inhibitors against a panel of ten MMP enzymes.
The kit is available in two forms, chromogenic with a thiopeptide substrate and fluorogenic using a quenched OmniMMP peptide.
The assays are performed in a 96-well microplate format. An inhibitor, NNGH, is also included as a prototypic control inhibitor.
