Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential step in tumour invasion and metastasis. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) each have different substrate specificities within the ECM and are important in its degradation. MMP activity is dependent on the levels of activated MMP and tis
The matrix metalloproteinases are a large group of zinc-containing proteases with a central role in the degradation of all types of extracellular matrix. Increased matrix degradation is a characteristic feature of several disease processes, most notably tumour invasion; it is now widely recognized t
Remodelling of extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membranes is a key component of the process of tumour cell invasion and metastasis. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one of the major classes of enzymes involved in degrading ECM, having different substrate specificities and being inhibited
