Equine Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) ELISA Kit

A quantitative sandwich-format immunoassay from Assay Genie designed to measure matrix metalloproteinase 3 (also known as stromelysin-1, STMY1, STR1, and transin-1) in equine research samples. The kit is configured for 96 assays per plate and uses equine-specific capture and detection reagents matched to UniProt entry Q28397. MMP3 is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that cleaves multiple extracellular matrix components and is widely studied in horses as a circulating biomarker of cartilage turnover, synovial inflammation, and connective-tissue remodeling.

The assay is intended for in vitro research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or veterinary clinical decision-making.

Researchers investigating equine osteoarthritis, laminitis, articular cartilage degradation, tendon injury, and post-exercise inflammatory response can apply the kit across multiple sample matrices, including synovial fluid, cartilage, and soft-tissue biopsy homogenates. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of manufacture when the kit is stored refrigerated and protected from light; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted working reagents.
