TIMP4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN1043743

Product Details anti-TIMP4 Antibody

Target: TIMP4 (TIMP Metallopeptidase Inhibitor 4 (TIMP4))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This TIMP4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA

Specificity: Anti-TIMP4 was purified from clarified mouse ascetic fluid by Protein A chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. TIMP4 antibody is specific for human TIMP4 protein. This antibody reacts with human TIMP4 in tissue sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded In ELISAs and Native-PAGE, this antibody does not cross-react with recombinant human TIMP-1, -2 or -3. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with TIMP4 from human and mouse sources based on the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with TIMP-4 from other sources has not been determined.

Characteristics: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) is member of the TIMP family of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities. In addition, TIMPs have non-MMP associated functions, including roles in growth promotion, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. All four members of the TIMP gene family form a similar secondary structure due to the formation of six highly conserved disulfide bonds. It has been reported that some TIMPs, TIMP4 included, can bind a tetraspanin in the plasma membrane, initiating an intra-cellular signaling cascade. Elevated levels of TIMP4 have been associated with breast cancer progression and heart disease.

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: Anti-TIMP4 (MOUSE) Monoclonal Antibody was produced in mouse by repeated immunizations with full legnth human TIMP4 protein followed by hybridoma development.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Clone: 9:4-7

Isotype: IgG2b kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-TIMP4 antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Native - Western, and IHC (P). SDS-PAGE - Western Blot not useful for endogenous detection. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
