Overview
The SensoLyte® 520 MMP-7 Assay Kit Fluorimetric provides a precise and efficient way to measure the activity of MMP-7 (matrilysin, PUMP), an enzyme important in biological processes like tissue remodeling, cell proliferation, and host defenses. This assay kit employs a sophisticated design using 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL520™ (quencher) labeled FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) peptide substrates. When intact, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by QXL520™, but upon the cleavage of the FRET peptide by MMP-7, the fluorescence signal is restored, allowing for continuous monitoring and quantification of enzyme activity.
Key Features
- Utilizes 5-FAM and QXL520™ for accurate fluorescence measurement
- Continuous detection of enzyme activity
- Ideal for research in tissue remodeling and physiological processes
- Easy protocol for straightforward implementation
- Single kit format for convenience and efficiency
