Rat Tissue Inhibitors Of Metalloproteinase 4 (TIMP4) ELISA Kit

Quantify endogenous Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 4 (TIMP4) in rat biological specimens with this colorimetric immunoassay from Assay Genie. TIMP4 is a 23 kDa secreted glycoprotein that regulates extracellular matrix turnover by selectively inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases, with documented roles in cardiovascular remodeling, adipocyte differentiation, and inflammatory tissue injury models. The kit accepts a range of sample matrices including tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and blood-derived fractions, making it suitable for studies spanning cardiac pathology, obesity research, neuroinflammation, and wound healing investigations. Each kit supplies reagents sufficient for 96 assays, with a colorimetric readout that integrates into routine laboratory workflows. Researchers apply this assay to track TIMP4 expression changes following pharmacological intervention, genetic modification, or disease progression in rat models, where the protein's tissue-specific regulation provides a quantitative biomarker for extracellular matrix remodeling activity.
