Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs)
belong to the metzincin family of zinc-containing multidomain molecules, and can act as …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that have
been increasingly linked to both normal physiology and abnormal pathology in the kidney …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are large family of proteinases. In addition to a
fundamental role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix, they also cleave a number of …

Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is a secreted zinc-and calcium-dependent
endopeptidase that degrades a broad range of extracellular matrix substrates and additional …

Zinc-dependent matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to metzincins that comprise not
only 23 human MMPs but also other metalloproteinases, such as 21 human ADAMs (a …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a group of zinc and calcium endopeptidases which
cleave extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. They are also involved in the degradation of cell …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of the neutral proteinase family. They were
previously thought to be anti-fibrotic because of their ability to degrade and remodel of …

Abstract Metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 (also called gelatinases) are involved in cell
invasion and in embryonic development and organogenesis. A growing number of reports …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of proteinases that remodel
extracellular matrix (ECM) components and cleave a number of cell surface proteins. MMP …
