Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) ELISA Kit

Macrophage elastase, also called MMP12, is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that degrades elastin and other extracellular matrix proteins. Investigators measure circulating MMP12 in serum or plasma samples as a candidate biomarker for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, atherosclerosis progression, and tumor invasion. This Assay Genie kit supplies the complete reagent set needed to quantify human MMP12 in research specimens through a colorimetric immunoassay workflow. Each 96-assay kit is configured with the standards, buffers, and detection reagents required to build a standard curve and process unknown samples in parallel, supporting patient-cohort comparisons and treatment-condition studies. Intended for research use only.
