Human MMP8 ELISA Kit (ab219050) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MMP8 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, saliva, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MMP8 with 19.5 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 strips
A 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-8 (MMP8), also known as neutrophil collagenase and PMNL collagenase, is a zinc and calcium binding protein encoded by the gene MMP-8. MMP8 belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase family which are involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix, and are involved in embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remolding. MMP8 is stored inactive in granules within neutrophils, and upon secretion is activated by cleavage of a peptide through the dissociation of a conserved cysteine from a zinc ion. MMP8 degrades type I, II, and III collagens, and the protein contains four hemopexin regions.

Function
Can degrade fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens.Tissue specificity
Neutrophils.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.Cellular localization
Cytoplasmic granule. Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix. Stored in intracellular granules.- Information by UniProt
