AnaSpec Highlights MMP Inhibitors
San Jose, CA, May 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- AnaSpec, Eurogentec Group, is pleased to release 11 MMP inhibitors to complement their wide offering of MMP SensoLyte® 520 and 490 fluorimetric kits, colorimetric kits, recombinant proteins, and Z-Fish™ antibodies (antibodies specific for zebrafish). These MMP inhibitors are small molecules and act as either potent broad-spectrum inhibitors or selective inhibitors of MMPs. MMP inhibitors can be used as reference compounds for validating new MMP assays, and/or for identifying novel MMP inhibitors.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of secreted or membrane-associated zinc endopeptidases capable of digesting extracellular matrix components. 1,2 Many aspects of both physiological processes and pathological conditions are involved such as tumor development and metastasis, 3,4 rheumatoid arthritis. 5 As a result, compounds that inhibit MMP activity are considered promising therapeutic agents.6
