Used in biomedical research to quantify levels of TIMP-1 protein in porcine samples, particularly in studies related to tissue remodeling, inflammation, and fibrosis. Commonly applied in veterinary research, animal model studies for human diseases, and in monitoring progression of conditions such as liver disease, lung injury, and cancer in pigs. Enables researchers to assess the balance between matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, providing insights into extracellular matrix regulation. Widely used in preclinical studies where pigs serve as translational models due to their physiological similarity to humans.
