Characteristics: Purified recombinant Human TIMP1 protein
Expression System: E.coli
Bioactivity: TIMP1 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-1 concentration of approximately 0.5 µg/mL, when using an MMP-1 concentration of 1.6 µg/mL.

Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng per µg (1 EU/µg).

Target Details

Target: TIMP1 (TIMP Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 1 (TIMP1))

Alternative Name: TIMP1

Background: TIMP1 is an extracellular inhibitor of MMPs (see above) including MMP1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16. It belongs to the I35 (TIMP) family of irreversible protease inhibitors that function as key modulators of extracellular matrix degradation during tissue development and remodeling. TIMP1 can also act through an MMP-independent mechanism to promote erythropoiesis by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitors.
Alternative Names: TIMP 1 protein, TIMP-1 protein, TIMP-1, Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases: Fibroblast collagenase inhibitor, Erythroid-potentiating activity protein, TIMP1, TIMP 1, TIMP-1 protein
