Recombinant, human TIMP-2 expressed in CHC cells. Migrates as a 24 kDa protein under reducing conditions on SDS-PAGE. The activation and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are regulated by a family of endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP). TIMP-2 is a ~21 kDa (nonreduced) or a ~24 kDa (reduced) protein on SDS-PAGE that is expressed by a variety of cell types. It forms a non-covalent, stoichiometric complex with both latent and active MMPs. TIMP-2 preferentially binds and inhibits MMP-2. TIMPs are capable of altering the metastatic potential of cancer cells and have been shown to inhibit invasion and metastasis in animal models. Useful for SDS-PAGE/immunoblot standard and inhibition studies.
