Abstract excerpt
Human macrophage metalloelastase (HME) is a recent addition to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family that was initially found to be expressed in alveolar macrophages of cigarette smokers. To understand more about HME expression, analysis of the structure and location of the gene was performed. The gene for HME is composed of 10 exons and 9 introns, similar to the stromelysins and collagenases, and HME shares...
