Used in biomedical research to quantify TIMP-2 levels in biological samples such as serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. Enables study of extracellular matrix remodeling processes involved in tissue repair, inflammation, and cancer progression. Supports investigation of TIMP-2's role as a natural inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), particularly in regulating MMP-2 activity. Widely applied in studies related to fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and tumor metastasis. Provides a reliable, sensitive, and specific method for detecting TIMP-2 in rat models, facilitating preclinical research and biomarker development.
