Anti-TIMP-1 Antibody, clone 7-6C1

Descrição detalhada : Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) inhibit the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells. TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 have similar properties, specifically in inhibiting enzymes of matrix metalloproteinase family, and are thought to be of great importance in the maintenance of connective tissue integrity. TIMP-1 forms a complex of 1:1 stoichiometry with activated interstitial collagenase, activated stromelysin, active form of 72 kDa type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-2 or gelatinase A), and latent and active forms 92 kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-9 or gelatinase B). TIMP-1 levels in quiescent cells and tissues is low (pg/ml), and stimulation with the phorbol ester TPA or protein concentration is often needed to visualize protein bands. In addition, cell types differ greatly in the amount of TIMP-1 produced.
