1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9; gelatinase B) belongs to the subfamily of MMPs that play an important role in tissue remodelling in normal and pathological inflammatory processes. MMP-9 is a major secretion product of macrophages and a component of cytoplasmic granules of neutrophils.
