Bovine Tissue Inhibitors Of Metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie's bovine TIMP-1 immunoassay enables quantitative measurement of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1 in cattle-derived research samples. TIMP-1 is a secreted glycoprotein that regulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymatic activity and is studied across bovine reproductive biology, mastitis research, hepatic fibrosis models, and connective tissue turnover in dairy cattle.

The kit is configured as a complete microplate-based assay with all required reagents, diluents, wash buffers, recombinant standards, and detection antibody supplied in the box. Detection uses an absorbance-based readout on a standard plate reader. Sample input is compatible with serum or plasma, and the protocol accommodates additional fluid matrices such as milk whey, joint aspirates, and tissue homogenates, supporting applications in clinical veterinary studies and agricultural research.

Researchers apply this assay in studies of extracellular matrix turnover, inflammatory biomarker profiling, and reproductive tract health in cattle. Common uses include monitoring MMP and TIMP balance during postpartum uterine involution, evaluating joint tissue degradation in lameness models, and screening serum samples in nutritional or pharmacological intervention studies. Reagents require refrigerated storage between uses, and the kit is for research use only, not for diagnostic procedures.
