Abstract excerpt
Membrane type 1 (MT1)-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is a major mediator of collagen degradation in the pericellular space in both physiological and pathological conditions. Previous evidence has shown that on the cell surface, active MT1-MMP undergoes autocatalytic processing to a major membrane...
