The Matrix Metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) Gene Is Structurally Distinct from Other MMP Genes and Is Co-expressed with the TIMP-2 Gene during Mouse Embryogenesis
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-containing matrix degrading endopeptidases. A subfamily of membrane type (MT) -MMPs has been described recently. We have determined the structure of the gene (Mmp14) encoding the first MT-MMP to be described, MT1-MMP (MMP-14), and mapped it to mouse chromosome 14. The mouse MMP-14 protein is encoded by ten exons. The novel C-terminal peptide domains of...
