The MMP13 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC033844) is a valuable tool for researchers studying matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13), an enzyme involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix components. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific for human MMP13 and has been validated for use in Western blotting applications. By binding to the MMP13 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, making it ideal for research in fields such as cancer biology and tissue remodeling.MMP13 is known for its role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and cancer progression, making it a key target for therapeutic interventions in diseases such as arthritis and cancer.
Understanding the expression and activity of MMP13 is crucial for developing strategies to control its function and limit its detrimental effects in pathological conditions. The MMP13 Polyclonal Antibody provides researchers with a reliable tool to investigate MMP13 in both normal and disease states, advancing our understanding of its involvement in various physiological processes.

IHC image of PACO33844 diluted at 1:200 and staining in paraffin-embedded human colon cancer performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Background:
Plays a role in the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins including fibrillar collagen, fibronectin, TNC and ACAN. Cleaves triple helical collagens, including type I, type II and type III collagen, but has the highest activity with soluble type II collagen. Can also degrade collagen type IV, type XIV and type X. May also function by activating or degrading key regulatory proteins, such as TGFB1 and CTGF. Plays a role in wound healing, tissue remodeling, cartilage degradation, bone development, bone mineralization and ossification. Required for normal embryonic bone development and ossification. Plays a role in the healing of bone fractures via endochondral ossification. Plays a role in wound healing, probably by a mechanism that involves proteolytic activation of TGFB1 and degradation of CTGF. Plays a role in keratinocyte migration during wound healing. May play a role in cell migration and in tumor cell invasion.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family that plays a role in wound healing, skeletal development and bone remodeling. The encoded protein is activated by the removal of an N-terminal activation peptide to generate a zinc-dependent endopeptidase enzyme that can cleave various native collagens, including types I - IV, X and XIV. Mice lacking the encoded protein display profound defects in growth plate cartilage as well as a delay in the endochondral bone development. Lack of the encoded protein also impairs the wound healing process due to reduced keratinocyte migration and vascular density at the wound site. This gene is located in a cluster of other matrix metalloproteinase genes on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2015]
