MMP25 (MT6-MMP) Is Highly Expressed in Human Colon Cancer, Promotes Tumor Growth, and Exhibits Unique Biochemical Properties
20 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
MMP25 (MT6-MMP) is one of the two glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that have been suggested to play a role in pericellular proteolysis. However, its role in cancer is unknown, and its biochemical properties are not well established. Here we found a marked increase in MT6-MMP expression within in situ dysplasia and invasive cancer in 61 samples of human colon cancer....
