TIMP-2 Recombinant Protein

TIMP - 2 activity was measured by its ability to inhibit human MMP - 1 induced hydrolysis of a chromogenic peptide substrate at room temperature. Half maximal inhibition was obtained at a TIMP - 2 concentration of approximately 0.5 μg/mL, when using an MMP - 1 concentration of 1.6 μg/mL.

The lyophilized TIMP-2 recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted TIMP-2 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing TIMP-2 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
