TIMP1, or tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1, plays a critical regulatory role in extracellular matrix remodeling by inhibiting the activity of matrix metalloproteinases. This balance between MMPs and their inhibitors influences fundamental biological processes including tissue development, wound healing, and angiogenesis. Dysregulation of TIMP1 has been implicated in cancer progression, fibrotic diseases, and inflammatory conditions, making it a valuable target for researchers investigating tumor microenvironment dynamics, metastatic potential, and tissue homeostasis.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 3D4, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding experimental workflows require. Because it is produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, researchers benefit from exceptional lot-to-lot reproducibility, eliminating the variability that can complicate longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity-chromatography purification ensure high specificity for human TIMP1.
Validated for ELISA and flow cytometry applications, this antibody provides flexibility across different experimental platforms. Flow cytometry validation using U87 glioblastoma cells demonstrates clear detection of intracellular TIMP1 following fixation and permeabilization, with recommended dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200. The validation data shows distinct separation from isotype control, confirming specific target recognition in this widely-used brain tumor cell line.
Whether investigating MMP-TIMP balance in cancer biology, exploring fibrotic disease mechanisms, or characterizing cellular responses to inflammatory stimuli, this antibody delivers the reproducible performance needed for meaningful experimental outcomes. The liquid format with glycerol-based buffer supports convenient long-term storage while maintaining antibody integrity for consistent results across your research timeline.
