Rabbit polyclonal antibody to human Metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 (198-211): Affinity purified

The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family ofA zinc endopeptidases thatA degrade extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin and collagen type III. The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) complex with these matrix metalloproteinases and irreversibly inactivate them. The TIMP proteins areA homologous and are either secreted in soluble form (TIMP1, TIMP2 and TIMP4) or bind to extracellular matrix components (TIMP3). Metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 (TIMP3) is known to inhibit MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-13, MMP-14 and MMP-15.
