Relevance: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) and Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP 2) have similar properties, specifically in inhibiting enzymes of matrix metalloproteinase family, and are thought to be of great importance in the maintenance of connective tissue integrity. TIMP1 forms a complex of 1:1 stoichiometry with activated interstitial collagenases, activated stromelysin, active form of 72kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP2 or gelatinase A), and latent and active forms 92kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP0 or gelatinase B). TIMPs inhibit the proteolytic invasiveness of tumour cells and normal placental trophoblast cells. TIMP1 is produced in low (pg/ml) levels by most cell types. Treatment of cells with the phorbol ester TPA stimulates production of TIMP1 in some cell types, but the low protein levels produced often require concentration of cell culture media to visualize the bands by Western Blotting.

Product Notes
The TIMP-1 (Catalog #AAA4157369) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-TIMP-1 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases) Loop 2 Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TIMP-1 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Anti-TIMP-1 works well for Western Blotting applications, and when used against the reduced protein identifies a band at 29 Kd. RP1T1 does not bind as well to the non-reduced protein, and has limited use for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA applications. TIMP-1 is produced in low (pg/ml) levels by most cell types. Treatment of cells with the phorbol ester TPA stimulates production of TIMP-1 in some cell types, but the low protein levels produced often require concentration of cell culture media to visualize the bands by Western Blotting. A recommended starting concentration for Western blots is 1:1000 when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT, and 1:5000 for chemiluminescent substrates. Higher concentration of antibody may be needed for non-human samples. RP2T1 does not recognize murine or Rat TIMP-1 as well as it does human TIMP-1; RP3T1 works better for this application. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TIMP-1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TIMP-1 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases), Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
