Mouse TIMP-1 (Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinase 1) ELISA Kit (MOES01148)

A colorimetric immunoassay from Assay Genie, this kit is supplied in a 96 assay microplate format intended for in vitro research use only and is configured to quantify mouse TIMP-1 in research samples. TIMP-1 (Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinase 1) is a ~28 kDa endogenous glycoprotein that regulates extracellular matrix turnover by binding and inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and it is widely studied as a biomarker of fibrosis, inflammatory disease, tumor progression, and wound healing. Researchers apply this kit to monitor TIMP-1 expression in mouse models of arthritis, cardiac remodeling, lung injury, and cancer metastasis, where the balance between TIMP-1 and MMPs reflects changes in matrix degradation activity. The microplate configuration supports a full standard curve and quantification of endogenous TIMP-1 across a range of mouse-derived sample matrices. Reagents should be refrigerated, protected from light, and equilibrated to room temperature before each run to preserve consistent assay performance across multiple plates.
