The following Matrix Metallopeptidase 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of matrix metallopeptidase 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MMP2 gene. This protein is reported to be a ubiquitinous metalloproteinase that is involved in diverse functions such as remodeling of the vasculature, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 660 residues, a mass of 73.9 kDa, and is a member of the Peptidase M10A protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the nucleus and extracellular matrix. As many as 3 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, Multicentric osteolysis, nodulosis, and arthropathy. This protein may also be known as CLG4A, MMP-II, MONA, TBE-1, 72 kDa type IV collagenase, and CLG4.
Some Matrix Metallopeptidase 2 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 3000 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
