TIMP-1 Protein, Rat (HEK293)

The IgG3 Fc protein is the constant region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that acts as a receptor for a specific antigen. TIMP-1 Protein, Rat (HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived TIMP-1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free. The total length of TIMP-1 Protein, Rat (HEK293) is 217 a.a., with molecular weight of ~28 kDa.

The constant region of immunoglobulin heavy chains, known as antibodies, represents membrane-bound or secreted glycoproteins produced by B lymphocytes. In the recognition phase of humoral immunity, these membrane-bound immunoglobulins act as receptors that, upon binding a specific antigen, trigger the clonal expansion and differentiation of B lymphocytes into immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells. Secreted immunoglobulins play a pivotal role in the effector phase of humoral immunity, leading to the elimination of bound antigens. The antigen binding site is formed by the variable domain of one heavy chain, together with that of its associated light chain, resulting in each immunoglobulin having two antigen binding sites with remarkable affinity for a particular antigen. The variable domains undergo a V-(D)-J rearrangement and subsequent somatic hypermutations, enabling affinity maturation for a specific antigen after exposure and selection. Immunoglobulins are comprised of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains, held together by disulfide linkages.

Measured by its ability to inhibit human MMP2 cleavage of a fluorogenic peptide substrate MCA-PLGLDPA-AR-NH2 and the IC₅₀ value is approximately <4 nM.

Lyophilized powder.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris, 100 mM NaCl, pH 7.0. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
