Mouse Matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP20) ELISA Kit | KTE71003

Mouse Matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP20) ELISA Kit | KTE71003 | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Application: This Mouse Matrix metalloproteinase-20 (MMP20) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate MMP20 in samples. An antibody specific for MMP20 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyMMP20 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for MMP20 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MMP20 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

Usage Note: • Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.
• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.
• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Storage Instruction: The unopened kit should be stored at 2 - 8°C. After opening, please store refer to protocols.

Shipping: Gel pack with blue ice.

Background: Mmp20 encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins. Mmp20 is expressed specifically in the ameloblasts and odontoblasts, and the encoded protein is an inactive zymogen that requires proteolytic removal of a N-terminal propeptide to become enzymatically active. Mice lacking the encoded protein display an amelogenesis imperfecta phenotype.
