Anti-MMP-3 Antibody, NT

MMP-3 (matrix metalloproteinase-3), also known as stromelysin-1, is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of zinc endopeptidases. MMP’s are required for removal of extracellular matrix machinery during embryo development, morphogenesis and tissue remodeling. Endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are responsible for regulating MMP-3. Any disruption of this system can cause diseases such as arthritis, metastasis, atherosclerosis and tumor growth.
