The following Matrix Metallopeptidase 13 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of matrix metallopeptidase 13 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MMP13 gene. This protein is reported to play a role in in the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins including fibrillar collagen, fibronectin, TNC and ACAN. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 471 residues, a mass of 53.8 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M10A protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the extracellular matrix and is secreted. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally N-glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia. This protein may also be known as MANDP1, MDST, collagenase 3, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (collagenase 3), and CLG3.
The detection range for different Matrix Metallopeptidase 13 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 6 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL.
