Metalloproteinase inhibitor 2 (TIMP2), recombinant human

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: Mammalian cell. Expression Region: 27-220aa. Protein Length: Full Length of Mature Protein. Tag Info: C-terminal 6xHis-myc-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: CSCSPVHPQQ AFCNADVVIR AKAVSEKEVD SGNDIYGNPI KRIQYEIKQI KMFKGPEKDI EFIYTAPSSA VCGVSLDVGG KKEYLIAGKA EGDGKMHITL CDFIVPWDTL STTQKKSLNH RYQMGCECKI TRCPMIPCYI SSPDECLWMD WVTEKNINGH QAKFFACIKR SDGSCAWYRG AAPPKQEFLD IEDP. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week. Relevance: Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates th by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-16 and MMP-19. Reference: Human 72-kilodalton type IV collagenase forms a complex with a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases designated TIMP-2.Goldberg G.I., Marmer B.L., Grant G.A., Eisen A.Z., Wilhelm S., He C.Proc.
