Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify mouse matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), also known as gelatinase A, in biological samples such as serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and cell culture supernatants. This ELISA kit is particularly valuable in studies related to extracellular matrix remodeling, inflammation, cancer progression, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. It enables researchers to monitor MMP-2 expression levels under various experimental conditions, assess the effectiveness of therapeutic agents targeting MMP activity, and investigate the role of MMP-2 in disease models including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and metastatic cancers. The assay provides a sensitive and specific means to measure active and pro-forms of MMP-2, supporting mechanistic insights in immunology, oncology, and developmental biology.
