Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1) modulates neuronal death, axonal plasticity, and learning and memory
1 Nov 2005
Abstract excerpt
The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) belongs to a family of multifunctional proteins that inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), but also regulate cell growth, proliferation, migration and apoptosis in non-nervous tissues. We had previously reported that kainate (KA)-mediated excitotoxic seizures induce the expression of TIMP-1 in resistant neurons and reactive astrocytes of the rat CNS, but...
