Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Human TIMP-3 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA) and saliva.The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of zinc-binding endopeptidases involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix. The TIMP3 gene is expressed in many tissues, with highest expression in the placenta. TIMP3 encodes a potent angiogenesis inhibitor and is mutated in Sorsby fundus dystrophy, a macular degenerative disease with submacular choroidal neovascularization. TIMP3 gene is mapped to 22q12.1-q13.2. Mutations in TIMP3 cause the autosomal dominant disorder Sorsby's fundus dystrophy (SFD).Assay Range:156pg/ml-10,000pg/mlSensitivity:< 2 pg/mlCrossreactivity:There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.Uniprot ID:P35625Entrez Gene ID:7078Kit Components:96-well plate pre-coated with anti-TIMP-3, HumanLyophilized recombinant TIMP-3, Human standard, 10ng/tube, 2EaUSB Cat No Kit Component143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml143701 TMB stop solution, 10mlStorage and Handling:Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months.
