Functional Roles of N-Linked Glycosylation of Human Matrix Metalloproteinase 9.

Abstract excerpt

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a secreted endoproteinase with a critical role in the regulation of the extracellular matrix and proteolytic activation of signaling molecules. Human (h)MMP-9 has two well-defined N-glycosylation sites at residues N38 and N120; however, their role has remained mostly unexplored partly because expression of the N-glycosylation-deficient N38S has been difficult due to a...
