Product overview
Abcam's MMP3 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab139439) is a complete assay system designed to screen MMP3 inhibitors using a thiopeptide as a chromogenic substrate (Ac-PLG-[2-mercapto-4-methyl-pentanoyl]-LG-OC2H5). The MMP cleavage site peptide bond is replaced by a thioester bond in the thiopeptide. Hydrolysis of this bond by an MMP produces a sulfhydryl group, which reacts with DTNB [5,5’-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), Ellman’s reagent] to form 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid, which can be detected by its absorbance at 412 nm (ε=13,600 M-1cm-1 at pH 6.0 and above). The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well microplate format

Notes
This kit is useful to screen inhibitors of MMP3, a potential therapeutic target. The MMP inhibitor NNGH is also included as a prototypic control inhibitor.
Thiol inhibitors should not be used with this kit, as they may interfere with the colorimetric assay.

Research areas
-
Function
Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains. -
Domain
The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme. -
