Human TIMP-2 ELISA Kit has been used to measure tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) level in blood samples from Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) patients.
The Human TIMP-2 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human TIMP-2 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) plays a vital role in inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and functions as a key modulator of extracellular matrix deposition and degradation in various physiological processes. TIMP-2 can also act through a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-independent mechanism inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation in vitro. TIMP-2 mediates anti-angiogenic activities in vivo. TIMP-2 is a target gene of the microRNA-miR-22. TIMP-2 functions as a biomarker for cell cycle arrest.
