TIMP1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1, which is encoded by the TIMP1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a metalloproteinase inhibitor that functions by forming one to one complexes with target metalloproteinases, such as collagenases, and irreversibly inactivates them by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 207 residues, a mass of 23.2 kDa, and is a member of the Protease inhibitor I35 (TIMP) protein family. It is known to be secreted and is notably expressed in rheumatoid synovial fluid. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include EPA, EPO, HCI, TIMP, metalloproteinase inhibitor 1, and CLGI.
Some TIMP1 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 1.37 pg/mL and as high as 4500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
