Abstract excerpt
A temperature-dependent metastatic phenotype reported for a frog cell line, PNKT-4B, provided a means for studying potential mediators of cell-matrix interaction involved in metastatic invasion. Zymography revealed that these cells secreted enzyme species with properties and characteristics of mammalian metalloproteinases: collagenase, stromelysin, gelatinase A, and gelatinase B. These enzymes were produced by...
