Product overview
Mouse MMP3 ELISA Kit (ab203363) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MMP3 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse MMP3 with 4.94 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family, which are involved in breakdown of the extracellular matrix. MMP3 is secreted in a proenzyme form from a variety of cells, including macrophages, osteoblasts, keratinocytes, chondrocytes, fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells. It degrades collagen types II, III, IV, IX and X, along with proteoglycans, elastin, laminin and fibronectin. In addition to normal physiological processes like development, reproduction and wound healing, MMP3 is implicated in humans in the progression of atherosclerosis and tumor initiation.

Function
Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains. -
Domain
The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme. -

Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
-
The concentrations of MMP3 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the MMP3 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).
