| abstractText | We have cloned the cDNA encoding the rat tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP-3) by a PCR cloning method. Sequence analysis reveals an open reading frame containing 211 amino acids that show 99% identity to mouse TIMP-3 and 95% identity to human TIMP-3, respectively. High-level expression of TIMP-3 was detected in rat kidney, lungs and heart. |
