Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) plays a crucial role in cancer progression and development by proteolyzing extracellular matrix substrates. Primarily, the expression of MMP3 is regulated at the transcriptional level. The minute interplay of various transcription factor binding motifs at the promoter region is responsible for the altered expression of the genes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)...
