Matrix Metallopeptidase 23B (MMP23B) belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, and it is section of a duplicated region of chromosome 1p36.3. MMP23B is a protease. MMP23B regulates the surface expression of some potassium channels by holding them in the endoplasmic reticulum. Members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis.

MMP23B Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 199 amino acids (79-254) and having a molecular mass of 22.6kDa.
MMP23B is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.
