It recognizes a protein of 21kDa, identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2). It is closely related to TIMP1 and shows the highest binding affinity to both the latent (pro) and active forms of 72kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP2 or gelatinase A). It also has affinity for the active form of 92kDa Type IV collagenase (also known as MMP9 or gelatinase B). TIMP2 inhibits the proteolytic invasiveness of tumor cells and normal placental trophoblast cells.

Note
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the recombinant TIMP2 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
