Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is expressed highly in mineralizing
tissues including bones and teeth. Mice deficient in MT1-MMP (m/m) display severe defects …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been detected in forming dental enamel and are
thought to play an important role during enamel biomineralization. Membrane-type 1 matrix …

To study whether eruption of teeth and root growth require remodeling of collagen in the
peridental tissues, we studied molar development in mice deficient in MT1-MMP, an enzyme …

Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP) is a transmembrane zinc-
endopeptidase that breaks down extracellular matrix components, including several …

Although the connective tissues of the periodontium are subject to a high turnover rate, no
conclusive evidence has yet emerged that periodontal collagen turnover is essential for the …

MT1-MMP is a membrane-bound matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) capable of mediating
pericellular proteolysis of extracellular matrix components. MT1-MMP is therefore thought to …

MT1-MMP (membrane type matrix metalloproteinase-1) has been considered an important
membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase involved in the remodeling process in tissue and …

The gene expression and protein distribution of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2,9,
membrane type1 MMP (MT1MMP), as well as of TIMP1,2, and3 were analyzed during …

MT1-MMP is a cell-membrane-bound metalloenzyme that activates other proMMPs such as
proMMP-2 and-13. We studied MT1-MMP expression in mature human odontoblasts and …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a large group of endoproteases that play
important functions during embryonic development, tumor metastasis and angiogenesis by …
