Background Information
MMP21 belongs to the peptidase M10A family. It may have an important and specific function in tumor progression and embryogenesis. It cleaves alpha-1-antitrypsin. The proenzyme without the signal peptide has a calculated molecular mass of 62 kD; following activation by furin, the processed enzyme has a calculated molecular mass of 49 kD(PMID:12617721),and MMP21 protein was detected in fetal neuroectoderm, in placenta, and in leukocytes(OMIM).This antibody is specific to MMP21.
