Recombinant Human TIMP-2 (C-6His)

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases or TIMPs are a family of proteins that regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of the zinc enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) . There are four members of the family, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) is a non N-glycosylated protein with a molecular mass of 22 kDa. It produced by a wide range of cell types, which inhibits MMPs non-covalently by the formation of binary complexes and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. TIMP-2 also has erythroid‑potentiating and cell growth promoting activities.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Store at -70°C/-20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.Store at ≤-70°C, stable for 3 months under sterile conditions after opening. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Recombinant Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Cys27-Pro220 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
