Differences in the primary structures of TIMP2 and -3 in regions implicated in different interactions. A) Integrin α3β1-binding peptide of TIMP2 (peptide 9) residues 43–66 (78). B), C-terminal domains of TIMP2 and TIMP3 showing the loop 6 peptide and C-terminal tail. Residues that differ from the human TIMP2 or -3 sequence are white with shaded backgrounds. Asterisks identify residues in the C-domain that are invariant in all TIMPs.
