TIMP2 Antibody

SKU: orb2640189

Description

It recognizes a protein of 21kDa, identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2). It is closely related to TIMP1 and shows the highest binding affinity to both the latent (pro) and active forms of 72kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP9 or gelatinase B). TIMP2 inhibits the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells.

Images & Validation
