Description: TIMP3 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3), along with family members TIMP1, TIMP2, and TIMP4, are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). An imbalance between MMPs and the associated TIMPs may play a significant role in the invasive phenotype of malignant tumors. TIMPs inhibit the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells. TIMP3 may be involved in regulating trophoblastic invasion of the uterus as well as in regulating remodeling of the extracellular matrix during the folding of epithelia, and in the formation, branching and expansion of epithelial tubes.
Immunogen: Amino acids 175-211 of human TIMP3 Ab was used as the immunogen for this antibody (100% homologous in cow, dog and horse, and 94% homologous in mouse and rat).
Storage: Store the TIMP3 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
