Mouse Pro-Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (Pro-MMP-9) ELISA Kit-Sandwich

Pro-matrix metalloproteinase 9 (pro-MMP-9) is crucial in inflammatory diseases. For instance, in colitis models, MMP-9 expression is significantly elevated, and its absence can diminish inflammatory responses and pathological damage. Additionally, MMP-9 is pivotal in chronic infection models. In the case of toxoplasmosis, MMP-9 expression is linked to the reduction of peripheral nerve networks in the brain, potentially impacting learning and memory. MMP-9 also plays a significant role in skin wound healing in diabetic mice, where its absence results in decreased healing capacity. In neurodegenerative diseases, MMP-9's expression and function are of interest, as studies indicate it is involved in neuroprotection following spinal cord injury, safeguarding motor neurons by moderating TDP-43-induced death.
