Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) ELISA Kit

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), also known as 72 kDa gelatinase A, is a zinc-dependent endopeptidase that cleaves type IV collagen and other extracellular matrix components. This enzyme is widely studied in oncology research, cardiovascular disease models, wound healing studies, and investigations of tissue remodeling pathways. The Assay Genie human MMP-2 ELISA Kit is supplied as a complete microplate-format immunoassay configured for in vitro quantification of MMP-2 protein in research samples.

Validated for use with serum samples, plasma specimens, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and cell culture supernatant samples, the kit employs a colorimetric readout for quantitative measurement. Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 assay determinations, packaged as a research use only laboratory microplate kit. MMP-2 is a key biomarker in studies of tumor invasion and metastasis, where its proteolytic activity against basement membrane constituents is of interest, and the assay supports research applications including cancer cell invasion assays and inflammatory response modeling. The 72 kDa pro-form and its active cleavage products can be relevant to investigations of protease activation cascades.
