## Background: Three types of membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) have been identified as activators of pro-mmp2 (gelatinase a/72-kilodalton type iv collagenase), which is believed to be crucial for tumor invasion and metastasis. mt1-mmp has been shown to be widely expressed in variou

## Abstract ## Background. Clinical and pathologic examinations cannot always provide a prognosis for patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma. Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP) can act directly on carcinogenesis and takes part in 1 of the processes of metalloproteinase 2 activat
## Background: The 5-year survival rate of patients with submucosal (sm) esophageal carcinoma continues to be much worse than that with intramucosal (m) lesions. the reasons are unclear, but matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and membrane type matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) are known to be invol
## Abstract The membrane type‐1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP), a protease originally identified in breast carcinoma, is characterized by its capacity to activate other MMPs (MMP‐2 and MMP‐13) and to degrade extracellular matrix. Our study was undertaken to localize and identify the MT1‐MMP exp
