详细信息:MMP-2 Immunoassay Kit, pro-form only.Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (72 kDa gelatinase, gelatinase A, MMP-2) has been identified in a number of tissues, cells and blood. The precursor form of MMP-2 (pro-MMP-2) is tightly associated with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and regulated autoactivation.
Pro-MMP-2 may be quantitated using this sensitive immunoassay against
The MMP-2 immunoassay kit is useful for the determination of MMP-2 (pro-MMP-2) levels in fresh human sera.
The values measured by using this kit represent pro-MMP-2 concentrations, because pro-MMP-2 is used as a standard in this kit. This system recognizes both free pro-MMP-2 and pro-MMP-2 complexed with TIMP-2. It does not recognize active MMP-2. Contents of this kit are sufficient for assay of 100 samples, including standard curve. Testing of samples in duplicate or triplicate is strongly recommended. This kit is intended for research use only; not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
