About This Kit
Kit Overview
The Human MMP-9 ELISA kit enables the quantification of Human MMP-9 in various biological samples, including human serum, plasma, buffered solutions, and cell culture medium. This assay is specifically designed to exclusively detect both natural and recombinant forms of Human MMP-9.
Principle of the assay
The Human MMP-9 solid-phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) follows a unique approach to measure the amount of the target molecule. It utilizes a matched pair of antibodies to capture the target and form a sandwich complex. The first antibody is pre-coated on the microplate wells, where samples, standards, or controls are added and bind to the immobilized antibody. The second antibody, acting as the detector, is then introduced, followed by the addition of a substrate solution that generates a measurable signal upon interaction with the enzyme-antibody-target complex. The intensity of this signal directly correlates to the concentration of the target present in the original specimen.

Target information
MMP9 (matrix metallopeptidase 9, GELB, CLG4B) is a matrix metalloproteinase, a family of zinc and calcium-dependent endopeptidases that degrade extracellular matrix proteins. MMP9 is secreted as a 92kDa zymogen and cleavage of pro-MMP9 results in the active enzyme with a molecular weight of 82kDa. MMP9 has a gelatin-binding domain consisting of three fibronectin type II units, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, a proline-rich type V collagen-homologous domain and a hemopexin-like domain. MMP9 is produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, osteoclasts and endothelial cells, and is involved in inflammatory responses, tissue remodeling, wound healing, tumor growth and metastasis. MMP9 is supplied by bone marrow-derived cells and contributes to skin carcinogenesis. Further, MMP9 degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling. Studies have shown that elevated MMP9 is associated with progression of idiopathic atrial fibrillation and aortic aneurysm.
