Recombinant Human TIMP1

• Cat.No.: TIMP1-30303TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length Human TIMP1; amino acids 24-207, 20.6kDa.

Specification

• Description: This gene belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. In addition to its inhibitory role against most of the known MMPs, the encoded protein is able to promote cell proliferation in a wide range of cell types, and may also have an anti-apoptotic function. Transcription of this gene is highly inducible in response to many cytokines and hormones. In addition, the expression from some but not all inactive X chromosomes suggests that this gene inactivation is polymorphic in human females. This gene is located within intron 6 of the synapsin I gene and is transcribed in the opposite direction.
• Source: E. coli
• Biological activity: Biological Activity :TIMP1 activity was measured by its ability to inhibit human MMP1 induced hydrolysis of a chromogenic peptide substrate at room temperature. Half maximal inhibition was obtained at a TIMP1 concentration of approximately 0.5 μg/ml, whe
• Form: Lyophilised:Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex (can be stored at 4C for up to 1 week).For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier pr
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable at room temperature for up to 1 month. Working aliquots stored with a carrier protein are stable for at least 3 months at -20°C to -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. See reconstitution notes
