Proteolytic activity of cell surface-associated MT1-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) (MMP-14) is directly related to cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. MT1-MMP is regulated as a proteinase by activation and conversion of the latent proenzyme into the active enzyme, and also via inhibition by...
