Insights Into the Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Cancer and its Various Therapeutic Aspects: A Review
29 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases that regulate the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Gross and La Piere discovered MMPs in 1962 during an experiment on tissue samples from a tadpole's tail. Several subtypes of MMPs have been identified, depending on their substrate specificity and localization. MMPs are involved as essential molecules in multiple and diverse...
