What MMP Inhibitor 1 is studied for

  • Kinetic (kcat / Km) protease characterization
  • Inhibitor screening and IC₅₀ determination
  • Selectivity profiling across protease families
  • Cell-based and diagnostic activity assays

Mechanism of action

MMP Inhibitor 1 sits within the Protease Substrates research class (CPC reference MMPS-001). The peptide encodes a specific protease-recognition motif flanked by a reporter (pNA, AMC, MCA / Dnp FRET pair). Enzymatic cleavage releases the reporter, producing signal directly proportional to catalytic activity. Investigators typically incorporate MMP Inhibitor 1 as a reference standard, tool ligand, or substrate in the assay contexts listed above. Read on kinetic plate readers at the reporter-appropriate wavelength.

Frequently asked questions

What is MMP Inhibitor 1?

MMP Inhibitor 1 (CPC catalog code MMPS-001) is a synthetic protease substrate (research reagent) in the protease substrates category. It is provided as a lyophilized ~1 mg vial for in-vitro research use only.

What is MMP Inhibitor 1 studied for?

Published and internal research programs use MMP Inhibitor 1 as a reference standard in protease substrates workflows — for example, kinetic (kcat / km) protease characterization and inhibitor screening and ic₅₀ determination. Human clinical evidence is not established.

Is MMP Inhibitor 1 FDA-approved for human use?

No. MMP Inhibitor 1 is a research-grade reference peptide and is not approved by the FDA or any national regulator for human or veterinary therapeutic use. It is offered exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research and does not ship to the United States for consumer use.

How is MMP Inhibitor 1 typically used in the lab?

In a protease substrates workflow, MMP Inhibitor 1 is reconstituted in sterile buffer or DMSO (solubility-dependent) and applied in the researcher's chosen assay format. Read on kinetic plate readers at the reporter-appropriate wavelength.

How should MMP Inhibitor 1 be stored?

Store lyophilized at −20 °C, protected from light. DMSO stocks stable at −80 °C. Follow your institution's standard operating procedures for handling synthetic peptides.

Where does the MMP Inhibitor 1 product page point to?

This kindr reference page mirrors CPC Scientific's catalog metadata for MMPS-001. The upstream reference sheet — including sequence, purity, MW, and application notes where published — is linked from the buy panel. All orders placed on kindr Peptides ship internationally under research-use terms only.

What quality specifications apply to MMP Inhibitor 1?

Research-grade peptides in the CPC catalog are synthesized by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), purified by preparative RP-HPLC, and characterized by analytical HPLC and mass spectrometry. Typical purity is ≥95%; certificate of analysis is available on request.
