Collection: Matrix Metalloproteinases Analysis

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes that function in the remodeling of extracellular matrix proteins. They are essential for various normal physiological processes such as embryonic development, morphogenesis, reproduction tissue resorption and tissue remodeling. They also play a role in a number of pathological processes such as inflammation, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, fibrosis and cancer. 

The MMP activity assays, manufactured by QuickZyme Biosciences, enable measurement of endogenous active MMP (naturally occurring) or total active MMP (following activation of pro-MMP with APMA). These immunoassays offer quantitative analysis of MMP activity in a fast, sensitive, and simple 96-well plate format.
