Rat Matrix Metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) ELISA Kit

MMP7, also known as matrilysin, is the smallest matrix metalloproteinase at approximately 28 kDa and is secreted by epithelial cells of the gut, lung, and exocrine glands. Investigators apply this Assay Genie kit to quantify MMP7 release in rat models of colorectal carcinoma, pancreatitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and mucosal wound repair, where the protease sheds E-cadherin and syndecan-1 to drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The kit supports biomarker work in oncology, fibrosis, and tissue remodeling research, providing quantitative readouts that complement immunohistochemistry and western blot validation.
