Target Background
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP2) is a 21 kDa protein mainly expressed in melanoma and renal tubular cells. TIMP2 inhibits matrix metalloproteinases by binding to their catalytic zinc cofactor. The expression of TIMP2 can be induced by cytokines, chemokines and factors involved in proliferation and differentiation. TIMP2 is involved in G1 cell cycle arrest during the early phase of cell injury. Insulin growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7) is also a marker for cell cycle arrest. TIMP2 together with IGFBP7 were identified as biomarkers for acute kidney injury.
