Equine Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Equine Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of MMP9, a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that degrades type IV and V collagens and gelatins during extracellular matrix turnover. This 92 kDa gelatinase serves as a biomarker for joint inflammation, osteoarthritis progression, laminitis, and tendon injury in horses, making the kit valuable for musculoskeletal disease research and wound healing studies. The microplate-based assay supports up to 96 determinations per run and includes pre-coated wells, detection antibodies, calibrated standards, and substrate reagents. Researchers investigating exercise-induced inflammation, cartilage degradation, or inflammatory cytokine cascades in equine models rely on consistent MMP9 quantification to monitor disease activity and therapeutic response. The kit is calibrated for use with blood-derived samples and tissue homogenates, with all components intended for research use only.
