TIMP-2 Antibody (3A4) [Allophycocyanin/Cy7] Summary

• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the N-terminus of human TIMP-2 protein (aa56-66) (DSGNDIYGNPI) (Uniprot: P16035)
• Localization: Cytoplasm and Cell Surface
• Specificity: It recognizes a protein of 21kDa, identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). It is closely related to TIMP-1 and shows the highest binding affinity to both the latent (pro) and active forms of 72kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP-9 or gelatinase B). TIMP-2 inhibits the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells.
• Isotype: IgG2a Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: TIMP2
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Flow Cytometry
• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required. Please contact our technical support team at technical@novusbio.com if you have any questions.

Background

The TIMP2 gene is a member of the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. In addition to an inhibitory role a
