The following Matrix Metallopeptidase 19 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of matrix metallopeptidase 19 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MMP19 gene. This protein is a reported endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as aggrecan and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (comp), during development, haemostasis and pathological conditions (arthritic disease). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 508 residues, a mass of 57.4 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 addition, it is reported to be expressed in mammary gland, placenta, lung, pancreas, ovary, small intestine, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis colon, heart and blood vessel walls. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated, cleaved and phosphorylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Cavitary optic disc anomalies. This protein may also be known as MMP18, RASI-1, matrix metalloproteinase-19, matrix metalloproteinase RASI, matrix metalloproteinase-18, and CODA.
The detection range for different Matrix Metallopeptidase 19 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 70 ng/L and as high as 50 ng/mL.
