Product Information
KE00166 is a solid phase sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Sandwich ELISA). The TIMP1 ELISA kit is to be used to detect and quantify protein levels of endogenous TIMP1. The assay recognizes human TIMP1. An antibody specific for TIMP1 has been pre-coated onto the microwells. The TIMP1 protein in samples is captured by the coated antibody after incubation. Following extensive washing, another antibody of biotinylated specific for human TIMP1 is added to detect the captured human TIMP1 protein. For signal development, Streptavidin-HRP is added, followed by Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) reagent. Solution containing sulfuric acid is used to stop color development and the color intensity which is proportional to the quantity of bound protein is measurable at 450 nm with the correction wavelength set at 630 nm.

Background Information
TIMP1 is a member of the family of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, which contains four members (TIMP1, TIMP2, TIMP3, and TIMP4). Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are multifaceted molecules that exhibit properties beyond their classical proteinase inhibitory function. TIMP1 has several MMP-independent functions such as modulation of angiogenesis, promotion of cell proliferation, and inhibition of apoptosis. TIMP1 plays important role in cell cycle regulation and cancer progression. Recently, clinical studies have shown that the aberrant expression of TIMP1 is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in a series of tumors, such as gastric cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma and breast cancer. In pregnancy, TIMP1 plays a regulatory role in the process of implantation, particularly the cytotrophoblast invasion of the uterine endometrium.
