The MMP-9 ELISA kits listed below are analytical tools for measuring concentrations of MMP-9 in various samples. MMP-9 is an alternative name for the human MMP9 gene, which encodes the protein, matrix metallopeptidase 9. It has been mentioned that MMP-9 plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and cell migration, among other functions. Structurally, the MMP9 protein is described to be 707 amino acid residues in length and 78.5 kilodaltons in mass. Its subcellular localization is in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in neutrophils. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated. Other names for this target antigen include CLG4B, GELB, and MANDP2.
The detection range for different MMP-9 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 50 ng/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
