High expression of 92-kD type IV collagenase (gelatinase B) in the osteoclast lineage during mouse development

Abstract excerpt

cDNA clones for murine 92 kD type IV collagenase (gelatinase B) were generated for the determination of its primary structure and for analysis of temporal and spatial expression in vivo. The mouse enzyme has 72% sequence identity with the human counterpart, the major difference being the presence of a 16-residue segment absent from the human enzyme. In situ hybridization analyses of embryonic and postnatal mouse...
