Recombinant mouse TIMP-1 protein

Recombinant Protein

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

TIMP-1, also known as metalloproteinase inhibitor 1, is a member of the TIMP family. Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP) family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), the zinc enzymes involved in extracellular matrix maintenance and remodeling. In addition to its inhibitory role against most of the known MMPs, the encoded protein is able to promote cell proliferation in a wide range of cell types, and may also have an anti-apoptotic function. It has been identified as a multifunctional molecule with divergent functions. Recombinant Mouse TIMP-1, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
