Rat MMP12 ELISA Kit

Designed for the accurate quantification of Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP12) in rat samples, this sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie uses a double-antibody format with colorimetric detection. It is reactive with rat and validated for serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples, delivering a sensitivity of 46.875 pg/mL and a standard range of 78.125-5000 pg/mL. MMP12 is a key enzyme involved in extracellular matrix degradation and tissue remodeling, and plays a critical role in inflammatory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and various cancers, making this kit a useful tool for studying disease progression and potential therapeutic targets.

At a 1:2 dilution, linearity spans 88-104% for serum, 90-104% for EDTA plasma, and 85-102% for heparin plasma. Recovery averages reach 91% for serum, 91% for EDTA plasma, and 94% for heparin plasma. The kit is also referenced by the synonyms MMP-12, HME, ME, MME, Macrophage Metalloelastase, and Macrophage Elastase (UniProt: Q63341), and components should be stored at 2-8°C for 12 months.
