Matrix metalloproteinase-9 plays an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide. BioVision's QuickDetectTM MMP-9 ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for measuring the quantity of human MMP-9 in serum, plasma and cell culture and other biological fluid. The entire process can be performed within 90 minutes with fewer incubation wash steps respectively, resulting in less errors and more consistent results.
