General description

Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) comprise a family of four inhibitors known as TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TIMP-3, and TIMP-4. Each member of the TIMP family has its own distinct profile of metalloproteinase inhibition. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc proteases involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, tissue and bone remodeling, wound healing, tissue morphogenesis, angiogenesis, and tumor metastasis. MMPs are also known to be involved in the cleavage of cell surface receptors, the release of apoptotic ligands (such as the FAS ligand), cell proliferation, differentiation, and chemokine in/activation. The normal function of MMPs must be precisely regulated by their endogenous protein inhibitors, TIMPs . TIMPs inhibit MMPs by forming 1:1, non-covalent complexes with MMPs, thereby blocking access of substrates to the MMP catalytic site. Except for inhibition of active MMPs, TIMPs also exhibit several other biochemical and physiological/biological functions such as proMMP activation, cell growth promotion, matrix binding, inhibition of angiogenesis and the induction of apoptosis. Disruption of the MMP/TIMP balance can result in serious diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular disorders, tumor growth and metastasis.

Application

MILLIPLEX® Qualified assays undergo rigorous assay development, verification, and Quality Control testing to achieve optimal performance. Simultaneously analyze up to 2 analytes in human serum and plasma.

Analytes included: TIMP-1, TIMP-2

Assay Characteristics: Refer to kit protocol for assay cross-reactivity, sensitivity, precision, and accuracy.

Features and Benefits

  • Targets Key TIMPs: Enables simultaneous quantification of multiple TIMP biomarkers (e.g., TIMP-1, TIMP-2) in a single sample, saving time and resources.

  • High Sensitivity and Wide Dynamic Range: Detects TIMP-1 from 20–20,000 pg/mL and TIMP-2 from 49–50,000 pg/mL, ensuring accurate detection across physiological and pathological levels.

  • Supports MMP/TIMP Pathway Research: Ideal for studying extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and tumor metastasis.

  • Optimized for Serum and Plasma Samples: Specifically designed for human serum and plasma, ensuring high compatibility and reliable performance in clinical research.

  • Reliable Reproducibility: Intra- and inter-assay CVs < 10%, ensuring consistent results across experiments.
