Recombinant Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1/TIMP-1 (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :21.75kD. Recombinant Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Cys24-Ala207 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Also mediates erythropoiesis in vitro, but, unlike IL-3, it is species-specific, stimulating the growth and differentiation of only human and murine erythroid progenitors. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-12, MMP-13, and MMP-16. TIMP-1 does not act on MMP-14. Protein function: Metalloproteinase inhibitor that functions by forming one to one complexes with target metalloproteinases, such as collagenases, and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. Acts on MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, MMP10, MMP11, MMP12, MMP13 and MMP16. Does not act on MMP14. Also functions as a growth factor that regulates cell differentiation, migration and cell death and activates cellular signaling cascades via CD63 and ITGB1. Plays a role in integrin signaling. Mediates erythropoiesis in vitro, but, unlike IL3, it is species-specific, stimulating the growth and differentiation of only human and murine erythroid progenitors. [The UniProt Consortium]
