Description
MMP23 (Cleaved Tyr79) Polyclonal Antibody. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highly homologous Zn2+ endopeptidases involved in extracellular matrix breakdown. MMP mediated extracellular remodeling occurs in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction and tissue remodeling, and disease processes, including arthritis and metastasis. MMP-23 exhibits sequence similarity with most MMPs, but displays a difference in domain structure. The MMP-23 protein contains prepro-, catalytic, cysteine-rich, Interleukin-1 receptor-related and proline-rich domains. Lacking a recognizable signal sequence, MMP-23 has a short prodomain. In addition, MMP-23 contains a single cysteine residue that can be part of the cysteine-switc
