Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: NS0
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 24-207 aa
• 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.
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in Sodium Acetate and NaCl.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to inhibit human MMP-2 cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2. The IC50 value is approximately 2.5 nM as measured under the described conditions.
• Molecular Mass: 21 kDa
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU/μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain.
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 6 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 100 μg/mL in sterile, deionized water.
• N-terminal Sequence Analysis: Cys24
