Used in biomedical research to detect and quantify matrix metalloproteinase 5 (MMP-5) in rat samples, this ELISA kit helps study tissue remodeling processes. It is particularly useful in inflammation, arthritis, cancer metastasis, and cardiovascular disease research. The assay enables researchers to measure MMP-5 levels in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and tissue homogenates with high sensitivity and specificity. By monitoring MMP-5 expression, scientists can assess disease progression and evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions targeting extracellular matrix degradation.
