Mouse Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Mouse MMP3 ELISA Kit targets the stromelysin-1 catalytic domain through matched antibody pairs, with intra-assay precision typically below 10% CV and inter-assay precision around 12% CV across replicate standard curves. Reconstituted standards remain stable for short-term use at 4 degrees C when partitioned into single-use aliquots to limit repeated freeze-thaw events, while the coated plate should remain sealed with desiccant until first use. No significant cross-reactivity has been observed with closely related murine matrix metalloproteinases such as MMP1, MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, or MMP13 under standard assay conditions, supporting selective quantification of stromelysin-1 within mixed tissue matrices. Researchers investigating collagen-induced arthritis, bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, or syngeneic tumor models in mice commonly pair this kit with downstream gelatin zymography to confirm proteolytic activity versus total immunoreactive protein recovered from joint lavage, lung homogenate, or tumor explant samples. The plate is shipped under refrigerated packaging and is intended for research use only, with reconstituted detection antibody and streptavidin-HRP conjugate stored protected from light to preserve enzymatic activity across the full assay run.
