Human MMP9 ELISA Kit (ab246539) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MMP9 protein in hep plasma, saliva, serum, cell culture extracts, tissue extracts, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MMP9 with 22.17 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.

The MMP-9 protein also known as matrix metalloproteinase-9 or gelatinase B functions as an enzyme involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins. It consists of a zinc ion at its active site and facilitates the degradation of type IV and V collagens fibronectin and elastin. MMP-9 has a molecular weight of approximately 92 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the liver lungs and immune cells. This enzyme can exist in monomer and dimer forms with its activity regulated by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 profoundly influences tissue remodeling inflammation and angiogenesis. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but interacts closely with substrates in the extracellular matrix. MMP-9 plays important roles in processes such as embryogenesis reproduction and wound healing through the remodeling of surrounding tissues. The MMP-9 protein is often measured using assays like ELISA or analyzed via techniques such as Western blotting to determine its expression levels and activity in different biological contexts.
MMP-9 participates in the matrix metalloproteinase pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway. These pathways are essential in orchestrating processes such as tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses. MMP-9 acts alongside other matrix metalloproteinases including MMP-2 and is regulated by factors like cytokines growth factors and hormones ensuring the precision of extracellular matrix degradation during physiological processes.
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 has associations with cancer invasion and metastasis as well as chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. In cancer upregulated MMP-9 expression aids tumor cells in breaching the basement membrane facilitating metastasis. The disorder-associated pathways often involve interactions with proteins like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Understanding MMP-9's role in these conditions can contribute to developing targeted therapies that inhibit its activity potentially mitigating disease progression.

Human MMP9 Standard Curve Comparison.
Standard Curve comparison between human MMP9 SimpleStep ELISA kit and traditional ELISA kit from leading competitor. SimpleStep ELISA kit shows increased sensitivity.
Example of human MMP9 standard curve in Sample Diluent NS.
The MMP9 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.
Example of human MMP9 standard curve in 1X Cell Extraction Buffer PTR.
The MMP9 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 MMP9 in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant samples.
The concentrations of MMP9 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the MMP9 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 12.5%, plasma (heparin) 6.25%, saliva 6.25%, 1.5% PHA-M stimulated cell culture supernatant 5%, and unstimulated PBMC cell culture supernatant 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP9 concentration was determined to be 64.45 ng/mL in serum, 138.41 ng/mL in plasma (heparin) and 159.25 ng/mL in saliva, 167.62 ng/mL in 1.5% PHA-M stimulated cell culture supernatant, and 8.70 ng/mL in unstimulated PBMC cell culture supernatant.
Interpolated concentrations of native MMP9 in human lymph node tissue based on a 100 μg/mL extract load.
The concentrations of MMP9 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the MMP9 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP9 concentration was determined to be 896.33 pg/mL in lymph node tissue extract.
10% serum from ten individual healthy human male donors was measured in duplicate.
Interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP9 concentration was determined to be 60.21 ng/mL with a range of 43.33 – 92.95 ng/mL.
