A specific subset of RabGTPases controls cell surface exposure of MT1-MMP, extracellular matrix degradation and 3D invasion of macrophages
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
The matrix metalloproteinase MT1-MMP has a major impact on invasive cell migration in both physiological and pathological settings such as immune cell extravasation or metastasis of cancer cells. Surface-associated MT1-MMP is able to cleave components of the extracellular matrix, which is a prerequisite for proteolytic invasive migration. However, current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms that regulate...
