  [TIMP2]

• NCBI Gene ID:

  7077

• Reactivity:

  Human, Mouse, Rat, Guinea pig, Rabbit, Cow, Zebrafish. Others not known.

• Storage Conditions:

  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 degree C.
  Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C.
  Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.

• Specificity:

  It recognizes a protein of 21kDa, 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 72kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92kDa 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.
