It binds to MMPs regulating the extracellular matrix's remodeling. The protein has a molecular mass of around 21 kDa. TIMP2 is expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and kidneys where it maintains a balance between matrix degradation and production.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTIMP2 plays a significant role in tissue maintenance and repair by controlling extracellular matrix turnover. It forms complexes with MMPs such as MMP-2 inhibiting their proteolytic activities. The protein is also involved in cell proliferation and differentiation affecting processes like angiogenesis and wound healing. Its regulatory function aids in maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing excessive matrix breakdown.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTIMP2 is integral to the matrix metalloproteinase pathway and the regulation of endothelial cell migration. The protein interacts closely with other MMPs influencing their activation and modulation. Through these pathways TIMP2 holds an important position in cellular migration and signaling ensuring precise matrix remodeling in response to physiological needs.\u003cbr\u003e\nTIMP2 has significant links with cancer and fibrosis. Dysregulation of TIMP2 expression or its imbalance with MMPs can contribute to tumor progression and metastasis due to uncontrolled matrix degradation. Additionally abnormal TIMP2 levels associate with fibrotic diseases where excessive tissue deposition occurs. TIMP2's interaction with proteins like MMP-9 and MMP-2 highlights its involvement in these pathological conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843851178153,"sku":"ab287940","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab287940","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
