Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Mouse MMP-9 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin). The 92kD type IV collagenase is also known as 92kD gelatinase, type V collagenase, gelatinase B, or matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9). The 72- and 92kD type IV collagenases are members of a group of secreted zinc metalloproteases.1 The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are able to degrade the extracellular matrix and allow angiogenesis and tumor invasion.2 Gelatinase B, a matrix metalloproteinase that has proteolytic activity against connective tissue proteins, has been suggested to be important in the connective tissue remodeling processes associated with atherogenesis and plaque rupture.3 MMP-9 is predominantly expressed in neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells, rather than in oncogene-positive neoplastic cells.4 The polymorphism of MMP-9 acts as a genetic factor for the development of smoking-induced pulmonary emphysema.5 Assay Range: 156pg/ml-10,000pg/ml Sensitivity: < 20 pg/ml Crossreactivity: There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
