Recombinant Mouse TIMP-2 (C-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Mouse TIMP-2 (C-6His) protein,aslo know as TIMP-2,CSC-21Ktissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2,metalloproteinase inhibitor 2,TIMP metalloproteinase inhibitor 2,Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Mouse Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Cys27-Pro220 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.Accession:P25785. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Mouse.Predicted Molecular Mass:22.5 KDa. Background:Mouse Metalloproteinase inhibitor 2(TIMP-2), belongs to a family of proteins that regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). There are four mammalian members of the family; TIMP‑1, TIMP‑2, TIMP‑3, and TIMP‑4. The TIMP-2 is detected in testis, retina, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. The function of TIMP 2 protein is to inhibit MMPs non covalently by the formation of binary complexes. Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor.And the interaction with MMP-14 facilitates the activation of pro-MMP-2.It has been shown that the binding of TIMP 2 to a3b1 integrin results in the inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
