Hematogenous metastasis is postulated to involve tumor cell-initiated degradation of basement membrane barriers and underlying connective tissue matrices. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases that have been implicated in the proteolytic events of tumor cell invasion. Res
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been linked to the metastatic potential of tumor cells due to their ability to degrade the extracellular matrix. MMPβ3 (stromelysinβ1) is upregulated in a wide variety of human tumors. We used the MMTVβPyMT breast cancer model to determine if MMPβ3
