TIMP-2 antibody | D08-1D4
No associated image currently available
Mouse anti Human TIMP-2, clone D08-1D4, recognizes the human tissue matrix metalloprotease inhibitor (TIMP)-2. TIMP-2 is a member of the TIMP family, which has 4 members (TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, TIMP-4) and consists of 220 amino acids with a molcular weight of 22 kDa.
TIMP-2 is a inhibitor of matrix metalloproteases but can also interact with MT1-MMP to enable the cell-surface activation of pro-MMP-2 (Lambert et al. 2004 and Baker et al. 2002). In addition to this, studies suggest that TIMP-2 selectively inhibits the growth of endothelial cells through an MMP-independent mechanism (Murphy et al. 1993 and Moses et al. 1990).
