SKU:: T5587-02B
Application:: WB
Purity:: Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Peptide mapping at the C-terminal end of human TIMP-4, different from the related mouse sequence by 3 aa.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 50% glycerol.
Extra Details:: The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. TIMP4 gene contains 5 exons that span 6 kb of genomic DNA.The gene is expressed as a 1.4-kb transcript abundant in heart and present at low levels in several other tissues. expressed TIMP4 inhibits MMPs in vitro. TIMP4 gene is mapped to chromosome 3p25. TIMP-4 binds both progelatinase A and the C domain in a similar manner to that of TIMP-2. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot:1-2ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
