Recombinant Rabbit Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), N-His

Rabbit Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) is a zinc-dependent enzyme that degrades various extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen types IV and V, and plays a key role in tissue remodeling, wound healing, and inflammation. In rabbits, MMP9 is produced by monocytes, macrophages, and other cell types. It is involved in processes such as osteoclastogenesis, where it enhances the formation of osteoclasts and regulates bone resorption. Additionally, MMP9 has been implicated in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions and vascular calcification. Its activity is also associated with tumor growth and metastasis, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions. In summary, MMP9 is a multifunctional protein with significant implications for both physiological and pathological processes in rabbits.
