Rat Matrix Metalloproteinase 14, MMP-14 ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 46.88 pg/mL-3000 pg/mL Sensitivity: 11.75 pg/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen. Activates progelatinase A. Essential for pericellular collagenolysis and modeling of skeletal and extraskeletal connective tissues during development. May be involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganization by cleaving PTK7. Acts as a positive regulator of cell growth and migration via activation of MMP15 in association with pro-MMP2. Involved in the formation of the fibrovascular tissues in association with pro-MMP2. Cleaves ADGRB1 to release vasculostatin-40 which inhibits angiogenesis. [The UniProt Consortium]
