Principle of the assay: human MMP-7 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for MMP-7 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO,L18-K267) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for MMP-7 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the human MMP-7 amount of sample captured in plate.
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) previously called putative metalloproteinase I (PUMP1) or matrilysin. The PUMP1 gene has been identified through studies of collagenase-related connective-tissue-degrading metalloproteinases produced by human tumors. The PUMP I protein has 267 amino acids and is significantly shorter than stromelysin or collagenase (477 and 469 amino acids, respectively). Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Matrilysin, a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, is structurally different from the other matrix metalloproteinases by virtue of the absence of a conserved COOH-terminal protein domain. In addition, matrilysin mRNA is regulated in a specific and distinct manner in normal and malignant tissues. Matrilysin has been shown to correlate with nodal or distant metastasis in colorectal carcinomas; however, its implication in early invasive colorectal carcinomas has not been determined.1 Matrilysin is also a mediator of pulmonary fibrosis and a potential therapeutic target. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MMP-7, consisting of 250 amino acids with the molecular mass of 28KDa. The detected MMP-7 includes zymogen and active enzyme.

NCBI Description

Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades proteoglycans, fibronectin, elastin and casein and differs from most MMP family members in that it lacks a conserved C-terminal protein domain. The enzyme is involved in wound healing, and studies in mice suggest that it regulates the activity of defensins in intestinal mucosa. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
