We have identified a novel membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) expressed on the cell surface and inducing activation of pro-gelatinase A in vitro. In this study, we further examined the possibility that MT-MMP is the activator of pro-gelatinase A in tumors as well as in vitro. Expression
## Abstract Membraneβtype metalloproteinaseβ1 (MT1βMMP) is a transmembrane metalloproteinase overexpressed in tumors, which plays a major role in the first step of proβMMPβ2 activation, leading to the generation of an intermediate 62 kDa species. The second step of MMPβ2 activation that yields to t
