Abstract:

The authors completed the induction expression of recombinant MT5-MMP in E.coli BL21(DE3) and harvested the protein as inclusion bodies. The molecular weight of the protein is about 21 000. In addition, we purified and refolded the recombinant protein using the chromatography method to obtain the catalytically active MT5-MMP.

Key words: matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), inclusion bodies, renaturation
