Stromelysin-2 also known as matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) or transin-2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP10 gene. Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMPs are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades proteoglycans and fibronectin. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3. Sample Type: Cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin or EDTA). Intended Use: Sandwich High Sensitivity BioAssay(TM) ELISA kit for Quantitative Detection of Human MMP10. Sensitivity: <10pg/ml Range: 78pg/ml-5000pg/ml Specificity: Recognizes natural and recombinant Human MMP10. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Test Principle: This Human MMP10 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A a monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for MMP10 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(Expression system for standard: NSO, Immunogen sequence: Y18-C476) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat specific for MMP10 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human MMP10 amount of sample captured in plate.
