Anti-TIMP1 (Marker of Lymph Node Metastasis)(2A5)

Anti-TIMP1 (Marker of Lymph Node Metastasis)(2A5)

• Description: TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP-4 (for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases -1, -2, -3 and -4) complex with metalloproteinases such as collagenases, gelatinases and stromelysins, resulting in irreversible inactivation of the metalloproteinase. TIMP-1 is identical to EPA (erythroid-potentiation activity). PTH has been shown to be a regulator of TIMP-2 in osteoblastic cells. TIMP-3 may be involved in regulating trophoblastic invasion of the uterus as well as in regulating remodeling of the extracellular matrix during the folding of epithelia, and in the formation, branching and expansion of epithelial tubes. TIMP-4 is most highly expressed in heart tissues. Studies have demonstrated that TIMP1 is useful as a biomarker for early detection of colorectal cancer, outperforming CEA. Additionally, TIMP1 studies have demonstrated its role in CRC tumorigenesis, as well as observing its overexpression in metastatic lymph nodes. 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.
