## Abstract Membraneโtype metalloproteinaseโ1 (MT1โMMP) is a transmembrane metalloproteinase overexpressed in tumors, which plays a major role in the first step of proโMMPโ2 activation, leading to the generation of an intermediate 62 kDa species. The second step of MMPโ2 activation that yields to t
Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) is one of only a few enzymes with the ability to degrade the stromal collagens (types I and III) at neutral pH, and high expression of MMP-1 has been associated with aggressive and invasive cancers. We recently reported a single nucleotide insertion/deletion polymo
