Background

TIMP-4 is a secreted protein that inhibits most MMPs by forming a noncovalent complex with the MMP active site. It is highly expressed in brain, heart, ovary, and skeletal muscle.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
