General description
The Human MMP-2 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human MMP-2 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.
Immunogen
Recombinant Human MMP2
Application
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)
Human MMP-2 ELISA kit has been used for the determination of MMP-2 in serum samples and cell supernatant.
Human MMP-2 ELISA Kit has been used in ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) enzymes play a central role in the maintenance and remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Elevated expression of their activity, caused either by up-regulation of their expression or down-regulation of their cognate inhibitors, which has been implicated in various degenerative disorders, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, skeletal growth-plate disorders, and cancer metastasis. High levels of MMP-2 are observed in the acute phase of transverse myelitis. It is upregulated in colorectal carcinoma and is associated with poor survival outcome. MMP-2 gene haplotypes are also linked with risk of thoracic aortic dissection, a cardiovascular disorder with high death rate.
