Atypical localization of membrane type 1‐matrix metalloproteinase in the nucleus is associated with aggressive features of hepatocellular carcinoma
11 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is a versatile proteinase and recent studies indicated it could be internalized. Our earlier study found that it is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and could promote intrahepatic metastasis.
