Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc dependent proteolytic metalloenzyme. MMP-9 is
one of the most complex forms of matrix metalloproteinases. MMP-9 has the ability to …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic
metalloenzymes. MMP-9, a member of the gelatinase B family, is characterized as one of the …

Introduction: The overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) plays an important role
in the context of tumor invasion and metastasis, and MMP-2 has been characterized as the …

Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is a small proteolytic enzyme that secretes zinc
and calcium endopeptidases. It can degrade a variety of extracellular matrix substrates and …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an important role in the regulation of the tissue
microenvironment and in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Several proteins with a …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have traditionally been considered as tumor promoting
enzymes as they degrade extracellular matrix components, thus increasing the invasion of …

The predominant role of matrix metalloproteinase 8 in extracellular matrix turnover,
modulation of inflammatory responses and other physiological processes is well …

Aberrant activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is a common feature of pathological
cascades observed in diverse disorders, such as cancer, fibrosis, immune dysregulation …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a great variability that provides a complex
intervention in pathophysiological conditions. MMPs roles in pathology may be grouped into …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that are
capable of degrading numerous extracellular matrix (ECM) components thus participating in …
