Gene Information

human ... TIMP3(7078)

General description

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 (TIMP3) belongs to the matrix metalloproteinases inhibitor family. TIMP3 gene is mapped to human chromosome 22q12.3. TIMP3 possesses a C-terminal N-linked glycosylation site at asparagine residue. This protein comprises 12 conserved cysteine residues stabilized by six disulfide bonds in its secondary structure. TIMP-3 gene expression is higher in murine lung and kidney.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human TIMP3.

Immunogen Range: 91-140

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 3 (TIMP3) inhibits membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) and the tumor necrosis factor α–converting enzyme (TACE). It displays a high affinity for the proteoglycans associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) and displays tight binding with sulfated glycosaminoglycans. Mutations in the TIMP-3 gene is implicated in Sorsby′s fundus dystrophy which is characterized by choroidal neovascularization, vision loss, and abnormal Bruch′s membrane thickening. Downregulation of TIMP3 gene due to allelic losses on 22q12 chromosomal location is correlated to meningiomas. TIMP3 participates in cardiac remodeling. Low levels of TIMP3 protein are observed in scenarios of ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy. This protein elicits proapoptotic activity and is an inhibitor of angiogenesis and tumor growth.

Tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) is an important regulator of matrix metalloproteinase activity in many types of disease, including atherosclerosis, neoplasia, and inflammatory conditions. Among TIMPs, TIMP-3 uniquely binds the extracellular matrix (ECM). We performed IHC staining on 17

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also designated matrixins, hydrolyze components of the extracellular matrix. These proteinases play a central role in many biological processes, such as embryogenesis, normal tissue remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis, and in diseases such as atheroma, arthritis, cancer
