Membrane-Type 5 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MT5-MMP): Background and Proposed Roles in Normal Physiology and Disease
3 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family includes several membrane-bound enzymes. Membrane-type 5 matrix metalloproteinase (MT5-MMP) is unique amongst the MMP family in being primarily expressed in the brain and during development. It is proposed to contribute to synaptic plasticity and is implicated in several pathologies, including multiple cancers and Alzheimer's disease. In cancer, MT5-MMP expression has...
