Guinea pig Tissue Inhibitors Of Metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP2) Protein is a Recombinant Guinea pig protein expressed in E. coli.
MMPs are secreted by diverse connective tissue and pro-inflammatory cells. Typically, these enzymes exhibit minimal expression under normal physiological circumstances. MMPs assume a pivotal role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and immunity. They share a common domain structure, consisting of three key components. First is the pro-peptide, which requires removal to activate the enzyme. Next, there is the catalytic domain, featuring a cysteine switch, where a cysteine residue interacts with zinc, and the haemopexin-like C-terminal domain is linked to the catalytic domain via a flexible hinge region. TIMP-2 (Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2) is indeed a natural inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). It forms complexes with certain enzymes within the metalloproteinase family, leading to their irreversible inactivation. TIMP-2 is known to act on a wide range of MMPs, including MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-9, MMP-10, MMP-13, MMP-14, MMP-15, MMP-16, and MMP-19. Interestingly, TIMP-2 shares a significant degree of amino acid sequence homology, about 40%, with TIMP-1, especially in their N-terminal domains. This structural similarity underscores their related functions as inhibitors of metalloproteinases, despite some differences in their specific roles and affinities for certain MMPs.
