The 72 kDa type IV collagenase (gelatinase), a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-2), has been proposed to potentiate the invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. To determine the potential role of the MMP-2 in human gliomas and normal brain tissue, we examined the relative amounts of protein, mRNA,

Matrix metalloproteinases play an important regulatory role in tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation and motility, and tumor cell invasiveness. We have recently demonstrated elevated activity of the 92 kDa type IV collagenase (MMP-9) in human glioblastoma and in the present study examine the re
Extracellular proteases may play an important role in the regulation of cell migration and remodeling of the extracellular matrix during development. In this study, we have examined the embryonic avian heart for the expression of matrix metalloproteases. The 72-kDa type IV collagenase, MMP-2, was de
