Establishment of Structure-Function Relationship of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 for Its Interaction with CD63: Implication for Cancer Therapy
7 Feb 2020
Abstract excerpt
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is a pleiotropic protein, promoting both tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting activities. While TIMP-1 is primarily known as an endogenous inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and thus associated with tumor cell invasion, clinical studies demonstrated increased expression of TIMP-1 and its association with poor prognosis in cancer. Non-MMP-inhibitory and...
