Nori Feline MMP-3 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of MMP-3 in cat. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for MMP-3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any MMP-3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for MMP-3 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MMP-3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Background:
MMP-3 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix and during tissue remodeling in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development and reproduction, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis, and tumour metastasis. Most MMPs are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The MMP-3 enzyme degrades collagen types II, III, IV, IX, and X, proteoglycans, fibronectin, laminin, and elastin. In addition, MMP-3 can also activate other MMPs such as MMP-1, MMP-7, and MMP-9, rendering MMP-3 crucial in connective tissue remodeling.[1]The enzyme is thought to be involved in wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. Expression of MMP3 is primarily regulated at the level of transcription, where the promoter of the gene responds to various stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, tumor promoters, and oncogene products.[2] Recently, the MMP-3 gene was shown to be down-regulated in individuals with cleft lip and palate when compared to controls,[3] reinforcing the nature of cleft lip/palate as a condition resulting from insufficient or defective embryonic tissue remodeling.
