Human MMP-9 ELISA

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a proteolytic enzyme involved in extracellular matrix degradation, tissue remodeling, and inflammatory processes within the cardiovascular system. In cardiology, MMP-9 plays a key role in the progression of atherosclerosis by promoting plaque destabilization and increasing the risk of plaque rupture, which can lead to acute coronary syndromes. Elevated circulating MMP-9 levels have been associated with myocardial infarction, heart failure, adverse ventricular remodeling, and increased cardiovascular mortality. In clinical research, MMP-9 is widely studied as a biomarker of vascular inflammation, plaque vulnerability, and post-infarction remodeling, as well as a potential therapeutic target for preventing cardiovascular complications.
