Bovine Tissue Inhibitors Of Metalloproteinase 4 (TIMP4) ELISA Kit

This colorimetric assay from Assay Genie quantifies tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 4 (TIMP4) in bovine-derived samples, supporting veterinary and reproductive-biology research workflows. TIMP4 regulates matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and extracellular-matrix turnover, making it a marker of interest in studies of bovine corpus luteum regression, ovarian follicular development, cardiac tissue remodeling, and inflammatory responses. Validated for the bovine target specifically, the assay detects cattle TIMP4 rather than relying on cross-reactivity with homologous proteins from other species. Researchers investigating gestational programming, mastitis-associated tissue changes, or livestock cardiovascular function rely on this species-matched detection because non-bovine TIMP4 measurements are not directly comparable. Each kit is supplied as a complete reagent set intended for in vitro research use, with components optimized for bovine serum, plasma, and related biological fluid matrices common in endocrinology and reproductive physiology laboratories. Storage at refrigerated temperatures preserves reagent activity across the working shelf life, and the protocol integrates with standard plate-reader instrumentation found in livestock and veterinary research facilities.
