Function
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of peptidase enzymes responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix components, including collagen, gelatin, fibronectin, laminin and proteoglycan. Transcription of MMP genes is differentially activated by phorbol ester, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). MMP catalysis requires both calcium and zinc. MMP-12 (also designated macrophage metalloelastase) is produced in alveolar macrophages and degrades elastin. MMP-12 may contribute to elastin degradation occurring in granulomatous skin diseases and may also participate in macrophage migration through the epidermal and vascular basement membranes in inflammatory disorders.

Sandwich ELISA analysis of Human MMP-12 matched pair antibodies
Capture: HA725323, Human MMP-12 Rabbit mAb [PSH22-92] Detector: HA725324, Human MMP-12 Rabbit mAb [PSH22-93]
Elisa assay was performed by coating wells of a 96-well plate with 50 µl per well of capture antibody (HA725323) diluted in carbonate/bicarbonate buffer, at a concentration of 2 µg/ml overnight at 4℃. Wells of the plate were washed, blocked with 150 µl 0.05% tween-20 1% BSA blocking buffer, and incubated with serial diluted Recombinant human MMP-12 protein (HA210856) starting from 1,000 pg/ml to 0 pg/ml and detect antibody (HA725324, Biotin, 0.2 µg/ml) for 1 hour at 30℃ with shaking. Then the plate was washed and incubated with 50 µl per well of SA-HRP for 0.5 hour at 30℃ with shaking. Detection was performed using an Ultra TMB Substrate for 10 minutes at room temperature in the dark. The reaction was stopped with sulfuric acid and absorbances were read on a spectrophotometer at 450 nm.

The concentrations of MMP-12 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the MMP-12 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are THP-1 cell extract 1 mg/mL. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean MMP-12 concentration was determined to be 41.7 pg/ml in THP-1 cell extract.
