Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) plays a crucial role in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) was originally identified as an activator of MMP-2. Tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 (TIMP-2) was identified as an inhibitor of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP. However, TIMP-2 was report
