MMP9 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein matrix metallopeptidase 9, which is encoded by the MMP9 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a matrix metalloproteinase that plays an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 707 residues, a mass of 78.5 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M10A protein family. It is known to be localized in the extracellular matrix and is secreted and is notably expressed in neutrophils. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated. The MMP9 gene has been associated with the disease, Intervertebral disc disease. Other alias names for this target include GELB, MANDP2, matrix metalloproteinase-9, macrophage gelatinase, and CLG4B.
Some MMP9 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 3.66 pg/mL and as high as 9000 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
