Catalog No. ABIN2733768

Product Details

Target: TIMP2 (Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 (TIMP2))

Protein Type: Recombinant

Biological Activity: Active

Origin: Human

Source: Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Application: Antibody Production (AbP), Standard (STD), Protein Interaction (PI), Functional Studies (Func)

Specificity: Optimal preservation of protein structure, post-translational modifications and functions.

Characteristics:

• Recombinant human TIMP2 protein expressed in E. coli.
• Produced with end-sequenced ORF clone
• Tested for bioactivity.

Purity: > 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining

Endotoxin Level: Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).

Biological Activity Comment: TIMP-2 activity was measured by its ability to inhibit human MMP-1 induced hydrolysis of a chromogenic peptide substrate at room temperature. Half maximal inhibition was obtained at a TIMP-2 concentration of approximately 0.5 ug/mL, when using an MMP-1 concentration of 1.6ug/mL.

Background: This gene is a member of the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. In addition to an inhibitory role against metalloproteinases, the encoded protein has a unique role among TIMP family members in its ability to directly suppress the proliferation of endothelial cells. As a result, the encoded protein may be critical to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis by suppressing the proliferation of quiescent tissues in response to angiogenic factors, and by inhibiting protease activity in tissues undergoing remodelling of the extracellular matrix.
