Used in biomedical research to quantify Mouse Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 (MMP-12) levels in biological samples such as serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, and cell culture supernatants. It is particularly valuable in studies related to inflammation, lung diseases like emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atherosclerosis, and cancer progression, where MMP-12 plays a key role in extracellular matrix remodeling. The kit enables researchers to monitor disease progression, evaluate therapeutic interventions, and investigate the mechanisms of tissue destruction and repair in mouse models. Its high sensitivity and specificity make it suitable for detecting low concentrations of MMP-12, supporting accurate and reproducible results in immunoassay-based experiments.
