MT1-MMP in rat testicular development and the control of Sertoli cell proMMP-2 activation

1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

Metalloproteases (MMPs) are likely to be involved in the restructuring events occurring in the testis throughout development. We here demonstrate that membrane-type 1 (MT1)-MMP, a physiological activator of proMMP-2 under TIMP-2 control, is present within the testis together with MMP-2 and TIMP-2. In the prepubertal testis MT1-MMP immunoreactivity was uniformly distributed, whereas in the adult it was confined to...
