Identification and Characterization of a Novel Human Matrix Metalloproteinase with Unique Structural Characteristics, Chromosomal Location, and Tissue Distribution
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
We have cloned a novel member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of proteins from a human liver cDNA library. The isolated cDNA contains an open reading frame coding for a polypeptide of 508 amino acids, which has been tentatively called MMP-19. This protein exhibits the domain structure characteristic of previously described MMPs, including a signal sequence, a prodomain with the cysteine residue...
