The MMP15 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO14710) is a valuable tool for researchers studying MMP15, a matrix metalloproteinase enzyme involved in extracellular matrix degradation and tissue remodeling. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to MMP15 protein, this antibody enables precise detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it ideal for investigations in fields such as cancer biology and tissue biology. MMP15, also known as membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 15, plays a crucial role in processes like cell migration, invasion, and angiogenesis by cleaving various extracellular matrix components.
Its dysregulation has been implicated in diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. Understanding the functions and regulation of MMP15 is essential for developing strategies to modulate its activity and potentially combat pathological conditions associated with its aberrant expression.

Background:
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. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. However, the protein encoded by this gene is a member of the membrane-type MMP (MT-MMP) subfamily; each member of this subfamily contains a potential transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted.
Synonyms:
matrix metallopeptidase 15 (membrane-inserted)

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family and membrane-type subfamily of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this 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. Members of this subfamily contain a transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protein may play a role in cancer progression. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
