Product details:
Human MMP1 ELISA Kit ab215083 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human MMP1 in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 19.64 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Human MMP1 SimpleStep ELISA
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.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

MMP1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of proteins. These proteins function in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix during a variety of normal and pathological cellular process. MMP1 is an interstitial and fibroblast collagenase.

MMP1 also known as collagenase-1 is an enzyme belonging to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. It is responsible for the degradation of type I II and III collagens making it an important player in collagen turnover. MMP1 has a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa. This enzyme is expressed in various tissues including skin lung and reproductive organs primarily during tissue remodeling and repair. Scientists often use MMP1 ELISA kits and MMP1 inhibitors to study its expression and activity levels.
Biological function summary
MMP1 plays a significant role in the modulation of the extracellular matrix. It facilitates cellular processes by breaking down structural proteins and allowing for cell migration proliferation and differentiation. Although it acts independently MMP1 works in harmony with other MMP family members to maintain extracellular matrix homeostasis and is often linked to tissue remodeling complexes. This makes the MMP1 a valuable target for researchers interested in tissue repair and fibrosis.
Pathways
Studies show MMP1 involvement in critical processes such as the inflammatory response and wound healing. In the inflammatory pathway MMP1 expression is regulated by cytokines that respond to tissue injury. Within the wound healing pathway this enzyme interacts with proteins like transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) to coordinate the repair process by remodeling extracellular matrix components. This illustrates the interconnected nature of MMP1 with significant regulatory proteins.
MMP1 has significant associations with osteoarthritis and cancer metastasis. MMP1 contributes to the breakdown of cartilage in osteoarthritis highlighting its role in disease progression and joint degradation. In the context of cancer elevated MMP1 expression correlates with the metastatic potential where it assists tumor invasion by degrading the surrounding matrix. MMP1's involvement with other MMPs including MMP2 and MMP9 highlights its importance in these pathological conditions making it a therapeutic target in related research.
