Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

- BACKGROUND
| Host | Mouse |
|---|---|
| Conjugate | Unconjugated |
| Target Species | Human |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
Application 
| WB, IHC, E, I, LCI |
| Application Note | Anti-TIMP4 antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Native - Western, and IHC (P). SDS-PAGE - Western Blot not useful for endogenous detection. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. |
| Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
| Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
| Immunogen | Anti-TIMP4 (MOUSE) Monoclonal Antibody was produced in mouse by repeated immunizations with full length human TIMP4 protein followed by hybridoma development. |
| Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
| Gene ID | 7079 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | 7079 |
| Purity | Anti-TIMP4 was purified from clarified mouse ascetic fluid by Protein A chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. TIMP4 antibody is specific for human TIMP4 protein. This antibody reacts with human TIMP4 in tissue sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded In ELISAs and Native-PAGE, this antibody does not cross-react with recombinant human TIMP-1, -2 or -3. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with TIMP4 from human and mouse sources based on the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with TIMP-4 from other sources has not been determined. |
| Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
| Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
| Name | TIMP4 |
|---|---|

Background
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-4 (TIMP-4) is member of the TIMP family of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities. In addition, TIMPs have non-MMP associated functions, including roles in growth promotion, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. All four members of the TIMP gene family form a similar secondary structure due to the formation of six highly conserved disulfide bonds. It has been reported that some TIMPs, TIMP4 included, can bind a tetraspanin in the plasma membrane, initiating an intra-cellular signaling cascade. Elevated levels of TIMP4 have been associated with breast cancer progression and heart disease.
