Anti-Human TIMP-1

Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1, also known as TIMP1 is a widely expressed, secreted protein that functions primarily to inhibit members of a large family of metalloproteinases (MPs). Because of the ability of TIMP-1 to inhibit MPs, it functions in many of the same pathophysiological processes as these enzymes, e.g. wound healing, ovulation, angiogenesis, and cancer cell metastasis. TIMP-1 can also stimulate proliferation and cellular anabolic processes.1 TIMP-1 is a novel negative regulator of HGF activity during liver regeneration.2 Overexpression of TIMP-1 could promote renal interstitial fibrosis through the inflammatory pathway, which might be partly induced by upregulating ICAM-1.3

• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Goat
• Reactivity: Human
• Conjugate: Antigen Affinity Purified
• Gene: 7076

• Quantity: 100 µg
• Storage: The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
