Protocol: mouse TIMP-4 ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for TIMP-4 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, C30-P224) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TIMP-4 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the mouse TIMP-4 amount of sample captured in plate.

Assay Procedure:

Aliquot 0.1 mL per well of the 5,000pg/mL, 2500pg/mL, 1250pg/mL, 625pg/mL, 312pg/mL, 156pg/mL, 78pg/mL mouse TIMP-4 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1 mL of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1 mL of each properly diluted sample of mouse cell culture supernatants, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. See "Sample Dilution Guideline" above for details. We recommend that each mouse TIMP-4 standard solution and each sample is measured in duplicate.

Target Details for TIMP4

Target: TIMP4 (TIMP Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 4 (TIMP4))

Alternative Name: TIMP4

Background:

Protein Function: Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor.

Background: Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TIMP4 gene. This gene belongs to the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. TIMP4 gene is mapped to chromosome 3p25. TIMP4 gene contains 5 exons that span 6 kb of genomic DNA. The gene is expressed as a 1.4-kb transcript abundant in heart and present at low levels in several other tissues. Expressed TIMP4 inhibits MMPs in vitro. What’s more, TIMP-4 binds both progelatinase A and the C domain in a similar manner to that of TIMP-2.
