- Extra Details:
- Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) constitute a family of secreted multifunctional proteins which are classified based on structural similarity to each other as well as their ability to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). TIMPs therefore play a critical role in ECM homeostasis but have also been shown to have erythroid-potentiating and cell growth-promoting activities. TIMP-4 (~23kDa), unlike TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3, shows restricted localization to cardiac, neural, breast and muscle tissue. Cardiospecific TIMP-4 seems to play a significant role in regulating the normal cell phenotype since reduced levels elicit cellular transformation. It has been shown to be an inhibitor of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-9 with a preference for MMP-2 and MMP-7. 1-9 Applications: • Western Blot • Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections) Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20°C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
