Mouse Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1 ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: Samples diluted 1:101 are incubated in the microplates coated with the specific antigen. The antibodies, if present in the specimen, bind to the antigen. The unbound fraction is washed off in the following step. Afterwards anti-human immunoglobulins conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (conjugate) are incubated and react with the antigen-antibody complex of the samples in the microplates. Unbound conjugate is washed off in the following step. Addition of TMBsubstrate generates an enzymatic colorimetric (blue) reaction, which is stopped by diluted acid (color changes to yellow). The intensity of color formation from the chromogen is a function of the amount of conjugate bound to the antigen-antibody complex and this is proportional to the initial concentration of the respective antibodies in the sample!!Background/Introduction: Thrombin is not a normal constituent of the circulating blood. It is generated by the catalytic cleavage of its plasma precursor, prothrombin (factor II), by the activated Stuart factor (factor Xa). This is the final step of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation. The transformation requires the presence of an activated cofactor, factor Va, released from factor V by thrombin itself, and whose binding to prothrombin accelerates the activity of factor Xa in a non-enzymatic manner. Thrombin is a glycoprotein formed by two peptides chains of 36 and 259 amino-acids linked by disulfure bonds. Three important sites have been identified on the surface of the enzyme: The catalytic site that confers to the molecule its serine protease activity, the exosite one responsible for the binding of the substrate (fibrinogen or thrombin receptor) and the exosite two responsible for the binding of antithrombin III and inactivation of thrombin. Thrombin is, however, more than a simple plasma enzyme. Its properties to stimulate platelets and cause them to expand aggregate and release components of the alpha and dense granules were recognized earlier on.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Metalloproteinase inhibitor that functions by forming one to one complexes with target metalloproteinases, such as collagenases, and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Acts on MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, MMP10, MMP11, MMP12, MMP13 and MMP16. Does not act on MMP14. Also functions as a growth factor that regulates cell differentiation, migration and cell death and activates cellular signaling cascades via CD63 and ITGB1. Plays a role in integrin signaling.

Product Notes
The Mouse TIMP-1 timp1 (Catalog #AAA721646) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA721646 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse TIMP-1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1, ELISA Kit" 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
