Abstract excerpt
Using specific cDNAs isolated from mouse fibroblasts we determined tissue-specific expression of different matrix metalloproteinase genes: both stromelysin-1 and collagenase IV are highly expressed in heart and lung, whereas collagenase I is expressed most abundantly in skeletal muscle, kidney, and bone. High basal level expression of stromelysin-2 is found in heart and kidney. Like in man and rat, the...
