Rat Chymase 1, Mast Cell (CMA1) ELISA Kit

Chymase 1 (CMA1) is a chymotrypsin-like serine protease stored in mast cell secretory granules, where it contributes to angiotensin II generation, extracellular matrix turnover, and inflammatory signaling. The Assay Genie rat CMA1 ELISA kit provides a colorimetric, two-antibody immunoassay workflow for quantifying this mast cell protease in rat-derived experimental samples, supporting cardiovascular, allergic inflammation, and tissue remodeling research programs.

The microplate format supports medium-throughput screening, and the kit is validated for use with a selection of rat sample preparations — including serum samples, plasma samples, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates. Researchers studying mast cell activation, vascular pathology, pulmonary inflammation, or cardiac fibrosis use this assay to monitor CMA1 levels across experimental cohorts. Reagents are organized for standard curve generation alongside unknown sample measurement, with the colorimetric readout enabling straightforward plate-reader quantification.

Application areas include cardiovascular disease research, asthma and allergy models, vascular remodeling studies, mast cell biology, and investigations into serine protease signaling. Kit components should be stored refrigerated between uses to preserve reagent activity, and the assay is intended for research applications rather than diagnostic procedures.
