Rat A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin 5 (ADAMTS5) ELISA Kit

Quantitative immunoassay for rat ADAMTS5 from Assay Genie, used in cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis research.

ADAMTS5 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs 5) is a zinc-dependent metalloproteinase that cleaves aggrecan and other cartilage proteoglycans. Laboratory teams investigating joint disease and extracellular matrix turnover use this kit to quantify ADAMTS5 protein levels in rat specimens such as tissue homogenates and other sample preparations collected from experimental animal models.

Each kit provides reagents for 96 determinations and includes pre-coated microplate wells, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, wash buffer, substrate solution, and stop solution. Researchers add standards and specimens to the wells, incubate with detection reagents, and quantify ADAMTS5 concentration by reading absorbance.

Application areas include osteoarthritis studies, rheumatoid arthritis models, cartilage biology, aggrecanolysis research, and extracellular matrix remodeling in rat model systems. The kit also supports cell culture supernatant analysis alongside tissue lysate work. Store kit components refrigerated between uses and protect from light. For research use only.
