The Quantikine Rat TIMP-1 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure rat TIMP-1 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant rat TIMP-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Natural rat TIMP-1 showed dose-response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards, indicating that this kit can be used to determine relative levels of natural rat TIMP-1.
Store the unopened product at 2 - 8 °C. Do not use past expiration date.

Background
TIMPs-1 through -4 regulate the activity of zinc metalloproteases known as MMPs, ADAMs and ADAMTSs. Structurally, TIMPs contain two domains. The N-terminal domain binds to the active site of mature metalloproteases via a 1:1 non-covalent interaction, blocking access of substrates to the catalytic site. In addition, The C-terminal domain of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 binds to the hemopexin- like domain of pro-MMP-9 and pro-MMP-2, respectively. The latter binding is essential for the cell surface activation of MMP-2 by MMP-14.
