TIMP2 Antibody

TIMP2 gen is encoded by 5 exons spanning 83 kb of genomic DNA. TIMP2 is 83 kilobase pairs(kb) long with exon-intron splicing sites located in preserved positions among the three members of the TIMP family. The gene for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 is localized on human chromosome arm 17q25. TIMP-2 abrogates angiogenic factor-induced endothelial cell proliferation in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo independent of MMP inhibition.
