Zusammenfassung:Provided herein are metalloproteinase inhibitors and polynucleotides encoding such factors. In particular, provided herein are novel mammalian tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (designated as type three, or "TIMP-3"), fragments, derivatives, and analogs thereof, polynucleotides encoding the same and methods of producing recombinant TIMP-3's. In a further aspect, pharmaceutical compositions and kits containing TIMP-3's and their use for treating disorders are provided herein. In yet another aspect, antibodies selectively binding TIMP-3's are provided.
