Rat A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase With Thrombospondin 7 (ADAMTS7) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Rat ADAMTS7 ELISA Kit supports quantitative measurement of the metalloproteinase ADAMTS7 in rat-derived samples, providing researchers with a reproducible tool to investigate vascular remodeling, neointima formation, and cartilage matrix turnover. ADAMTS7 cleaves cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and has been implicated in atherosclerosis susceptibility and coronary artery disease progression, making this kit valuable for cardiovascular and connective tissue research programs.

The assay uses a rat-specific capture antibody with no significant cross-reactivity against mouse or human ADAMTS homologs, allowing selective quantification in tissue homogenates and cell lysates. Each kit is supplied with a pre-coated microplate, detection antibody, standards, and substrate solution. Unopened kits should be stored refrigerated; reconstituted reagents and standards can be aliquoted and frozen at -20 °C, with repeated freeze-thaw cycles avoided to preserve antibody activity. The assay is intended for research use only in laboratory in vitro applications.
