Background
It recognizes a protein of 21 kDa, identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2). It is closely related to TIMP1 and shows the highest binding affinity to both the latent (pro) and active forms of 72 kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92 kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP9 or gelatinase B). TIMP2 inhibits the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells.
