Chicken Matrix Metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) ELISA Kit

Matrix Metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that preferentially cleaves type II collagen and is widely used as a biomarker in cartilage biology, osteoarthritis research, and avian skeletal development studies. In chickens, MMP13 expression has been characterized in growth-plate chondrocytes and in tibial dyschondroplasia lesions, where quantitative protein measurement complements gene-expression data from cartilage and bone tissue. This Assay Genie kit is configured for chicken matrix metalloproteinase 13 quantification using matched antibody pairs and lyophilized recombinant MMP13 calibrators, with streptavidin-HRP and TMB as the readout system. Reagents are supplied in individual vials sized to the assay count, and the break-apart microplate strip format lets researchers run partial plates when sample numbers are limited. For storage, keep sealed components refrigerated, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted standards, and protect HRP and substrate bottles from light.
