## Abstract Membrane‐type metalloproteinase‐1 (MT1‐MMP) is a transmembrane metalloproteinase overexpressed in tumors, which plays a major role in the first step of pro‐MMP‐2 activation, leading to the generation of an intermediate 62 kDa species. The second step of MMP‐2 activation that yields to t
