Quick Overview for Recombinant TIMP2 antibody (N-Term) (Biotin) (ABIN7657003)

Target: TIMP2 (Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 (TIMP2))

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Cow, Zebrafish (Danio rerio), Rabbit, Guinea Pig

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This TIMP2 antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (fp))

Clone: TIMP2-2488R

Product Details anti-TIMP2 Antibody (Biotin)

Binding Specificity: AA 56-66, N-Term

Purpose: TIMP2 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2) (TIMP2/2488R), Biotin conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a protein of 21 kDa, identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). It is closely related to TIMP-1 and shows the highest binding affinity to both the latent (pro) and active forms of 72 kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92 kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-9 or gelatinase B). TIMP-2 inhibits the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the N-terminus of human TIMP2 protein (aa56-66) (DSGNDIYGNPI)

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody. Immunohistology (formalin): 1-2 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
