Used in biomedical research to quantify levels of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in biological samples such as serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. Helps in studying extracellular matrix remodeling processes involved in diseases like cancer, arthritis, and cardiovascular disorders. Supports investigation of metalloproteinase activity regulation, aiding in the understanding of disease progression and therapeutic response. Commonly applied in clinical labs and research settings for biomarker validation and immunoassay development.
