Background Information
MMP14, also named as MT1-MMP, is a key matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family member which plays a crucial role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. MT1-MMP is a cell membrane-bound proteinase, and it enhances degradation of collagen IV, a major component of the basement membrane, by forming a complex with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) to activate pro-MMP-2. MT1-MMP can influence venous invasion, intrahepatic metastasis , and patient outcome in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MT1-MMP was reported to be present in centromere and could lead to chromosome instability in MDCK cells, indicating that MT1-MMP may have more novel functions in the intracellular compartments. In western blotting, pro-MMP14 (65 kDa) and MMP14 (51 kDa) bands showed with the truncated MMP14 (45, 42, 35, 20 kDa) forms (PMID:12097451).

Reviews
What customers say
The single review rates this antibody 5 stars for Western Blot on glomerular endothelial cells at a 1:1000 dilution. The reviewer reports clear bands at the expected molecular weight, along with additional higher bands corresponding to multimeric forms of MMP14. Incubation times were 1 hour at room temperature for both primary and secondary antibodies. Overall, the reviewer expressed satisfaction with the product's performance.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Monica (Verified Customer) (11-14-2025) | Good antibody for MMP14 for WB. Western blot imaged after 1 hour incubation at RT for primary and 1 hr for secondary. Gives bands at expected molecular weight with some higher ones for multimeric forms of the protein. Overall pleased with this product.
