EMMPRIN (extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer), also called CD147, basigin or M6 in the human, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that is present on the surface of tumor cells and stimulates adjacent fibroblasts to produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In our study, we inves
## Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) contribute to matrix remodelling in venous leg ulcers. extracellular mmp inducer (emmprin; cd147) has been reported to increase mmp expression, and membrane type 1 mmp (mt1-mmp) has been implicated in the activation of mmps. ## Objectives: To examin
