Product details
The Rat TIMP-2 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit (ab213923) is designed for the quantitative measurement of Rat TIMP-2 in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
The ELISA kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TIMP-2 has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells; a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for TIMP-2 is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Rat TIMP-2 amount of sample captured in plate.
TIMP-2 gene is encoded by 5 exons spanning 83 kb of genomic DNA. TIMP-2 is 83 kilobase pairs (kb) long with exon-intron splicing sites located in preserved positions among the three members of the TIMP family. The gene for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 is localized on human chromosome arm 17q25. TIMP-2 abrogates angiogenic factor-induced endothelial cell proliferation in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo independent of MMP inhibition.

Biological function summary
TIMP2 plays a significant role in tissue maintenance and repair by controlling extracellular matrix turnover. It forms complexes with MMPs such as MMP-2 inhibiting their proteolytic activities. The protein is also involved in cell proliferation and differentiation affecting processes like angiogenesis and wound healing. Its regulatory function aids in maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing excessive matrix breakdown.
Pathways
TIMP2 is integral to the matrix metalloproteinase pathway and the regulation of endothelial cell migration. The protein interacts closely with other MMPs influencing their activation and modulation. Through these pathways TIMP2 holds an important position in cellular migration and signaling ensuring precise matrix remodeling in response to physiological needs.
