Recombinant TIMP1 Antibody

SKU: orb639508

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.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 2-4ug/ml (order BSA/azide-free format)
• Reactivity: Human
• Application Notes:
  The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the recombinant TIMP1 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
