Matrix Metallopeptidase 9 (Gelatinase B, 92kDa Gelatinase, 92kDa Type IV Collagenase) (MMP9) protein
Description
Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), also known as 92 kDa type IV collagenase, 92 kDa gelatinase or gelatinase B (GELB), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP9 gene. 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. Alternative Names: MMP9, Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 Protein, MMP9 Protein, MMP-9 protein, MMP-9, MMP 9 Protein, MMP 9 protein, MMP 9, MMP9 Recombinant Protein
