Metalloproteinase with a rather broad substrate specificity that can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates different molecules including growth factors, plasminogen or other matrix metalloproteinases such as MMP9 (PubMed:11029580, PubMed:1371271). Once released into the extracellular matrix (ECM), the inactive pro-enzyme is activated by the plasmin cascade signaling pathway (PubMed:2383557). Acts also intracellularly (PubMed:22265821). For example, in dopaminergic neurons, gets activated by the serine protease HTRA2 upon stress and plays a pivotal role in DA neuronal degeneration by mediating microglial activation and alpha-synuclein/SNCA cleavage (PubMed:21330369). In addition, plays a role in immune response and possesses antiviral activity against various viruses such as vesicular stomatitis virus, influenza A virus (H1N1) and human herpes virus 1 (PubMed:35940311). Mechanistically, translocates from the cytoplasm into the cell nucleus upon virus infection to influence NF-kappa-B activities (PubMed:35940311).

Human MMP3 ELISA Kit (ab269371) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MMP3 protein in cell culture supernatant, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and cit plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MMP3 with 4.4 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 (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Matrix metalloprotease-3 (MMP3), also known as Stromelysin-1, is a 54 kD secreted protease involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. MMP3 functions by degrading fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. This also activates pro-collagenase to further help in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix environment.
MMP3 also known as stromelysin-1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. These proteins are zinc-dependent endopeptidases. MMP3 specifically has a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa and is responsible for degrading extracellular matrix components such as collagen fibronectin and laminin. MMP3 is expressed in various tissues including fibroblasts chondrocytes and endothelial cells. It plays a significant role in tissue remodeling wound healing and potentially aids in the breakdown of cellular matrices.
MMP3 contributes to multiple physiological and pathological processes. It supports the remodeling of connective tissues and assists in normal developmental processes. MMP3 can work as part of a complex with other MMP proteins which can enhance or inhibit its activity. The balance of MMPs including MMP3 regulates the extracellular matrix turnover and is important for maintaining tissue homeostasis.
MMP3 participates in pathways involved in tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses. It is part of cellular pathways regulated by cytokines like interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). These pathways link MMP3 to other proteins such as MMP1 and MMP9 which perform overlapping and distinct roles in matrix degradation during inflammation and tissue repair.
MMP3 is implicated in conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. MMP3 contributes to cartilage degradation in rheumatoid arthritis and is associated with the breakdown of vascular structures in atherosclerosis. Proteins like MMP9 and MMP13 often interact with MMP3 in these pathological conditions forming a network that exacerbates tissue damage and disease progression.

Example of human MMP3 standard curve in Sample Diluent NS.
The MMP3 standard curve was prepared as described in Section 10. Raw data values are shown in the table. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Interpolated concentrations of native MMP3 in human MG-63 cell supernatant samples.
The concentrations of MMP3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the MMP3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: MG-63 cell supernatant 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP3 concentration was determined to be 1.2 ng/mL in MG-63 cell supernatant.
Serum from eight individual healthy MMP3 gender donors was measured in duplicate.
Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP3 concentration was determined to be 9.53 ng/mL with a range of 3.6 – 15.5 ng/mL.
Interpolated concentrations of native MMP3 in human serum, plasma (EDTA), plasma (citrate), and plasma (heparin) samples.
The concentrations of MMP3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the MMP3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 6.25%, plasma (EDTA) 17.5%, plasma (citrate) 12.5%, and plasma (heparin) 12.5%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP3 concentration was determined to be 15.3 ng/mL in serum, 7.8 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA), 11.0 ng/mL in plasma (citrate) and 10.4 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).
