MMP-7 BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Human

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Human MMP-7 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin), saliva and urine.\n\nMatrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) previously called putative metalloproteinase I (PUMP1) or matrilysin. The PUMP1 gene has been identified through studies of collagenase-related connective-tissue-degrading metalloproteinases produced by human tumors. The PUMP I protein has 267 amino acids and is significantly shorter than stromelysin or collagenase (477 and 469 amino acids, respectively). Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis.1 Matrilysin, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is structurally different from the other matrix metalloproteinases by virtue of the absence of a conserved COOH-terminal protein domain. In addition, matrilysin mRNA is regulated in a specific and distinct manner in normal and malignant tissues.2 Matrilysin has been shown to correlate with nodal or distant metastasis in colorectal carcinomas; however, its implication in early invasive colorectal carcinomas has not been determined.1 Matrilysin is also a mediator of pulmonary fibrosis and a potential therapeutic target.3 The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MMP-7, consisting of 250 amino acids with the molecular mass of 28kD. The detected MMP-7 includes zymogen and active enzyme.\n\nAssay Range:\n156pg/ml-10,000pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n< 6 pg/ml\n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nP09237\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n4316\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-MMP-7, Human\nLyophilized recombinant MMP-7, Human standard, 10ng/tube, 2Ea\nUSB Cat No Kit Component\n143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)\n143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml\n143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml\n143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml\n143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml\n143701 TMB stop solution, 10ml\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at 4 degrees C for 6 months, at -20 degrees C for 12 months.
