Porcine Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 2 ELISA Kit
PRINCIPLE OF THE ASSAY TIMP-2 ELISA kit applies the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific for TIMP-2. Standards or samples are then added to the microtiter plate wells and TIMP-2 if present, will bind to the antibody pre-coated wells. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of TIMP-2 present in the sample, a standardized preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated polyclonal antibody, specific for TIMP-2 are added to each well to “sandwich” the TIMP-2 immobilized on the plate. The microtiter plate undergoes incubation, and then the wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound components. Next, substrate solutions are added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain TIMP-2 and enzyme-conjugated antibody will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The TIMP-2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
acts as an inhibitor of metallopeptidase activity; may play a role in tissue remodeling during spermatogenesis [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
TIMP2: Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-16 and MMP-19. Interacts (via the C-terminal) with MMP2 (via the C- terminal PEX domain); the interaction inhibits the MMP2 activity. Down-regulated by TGFB1. Belongs to the protease inhibitor I35 (TIMP) family.

Product Notes
The Porcine TIMP-2 timp2 (Catalog #AAA737317) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA737317 ELISA Kit recognizes Porcine TIMP-2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 2, 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
