timp 2

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.

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases or TIMPs are a family of proteins that regulate the activation and proteolytic activity of the zinc enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). There are four members of the family, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2) is a non N-glycosylated protein with a molecular mass of 22 kDa. It produced by a wide range of cell types, which inhibits MMPs non-covalently by the formation of binary complexes and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. TIMP-2 also has erythroid‑potentiating and cell growth promoting activities.

TIMP-2 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc) is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with hFc tag. The predicted molecular weight is 48 kDa and the accession number is A0A140VK57.

Alteration of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) expression has been studied for various cardiac diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), with the significance of surrogate markers of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. MMP-8 was identified only in myocardiocytes, while MMP-9 and TIMP-2 were present in both myocardiocytes and stroma, but with different intensity. The increasing intensity of MMP-8 and TIMP-2 immunoreactions was significantly associated with low HCS.

Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TIMP4 gene, belongs to the protease inhibitor I35 (TIMP) family. The protein complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7 and MMP-9.
