Background of TIMP-1

The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP1) is also called erythroid-potentiating activity (EPA). The X-linked gene for human TIMP1 is expressed in some but not all inactive X-containing somatic-cell hybrids, suggesting that this gene is either prone to reactivation or variable in its inactivation. Purified EPA specifically stimulates human and murine cells of the erythroid lineage, unlike murine interleukin-3 (IL-3) which stimulates precursor cells from all haematopoietic lineages. TIMP1 is thought to play a regulatory role in connective tissues by forming inactive complexes with those metalloproteinases that are normally responsible for connective tissue turnover. The human gene encoding TIMP has been mapped to the X chromosome in the region Xp11.1-p11.4. The standard product used in this kit is natural TIMP-1 with the molecular mass of 22KDa.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency

We measured random samples of Human TIMP-1 PicoKine® Quick ELISA Kit within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Reproducibility

We ensure reproducibility by testing three samples with differing concentrations of TIMP-1 in ELISA kits from four different production batches/lots.
