Functional domains of human TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases).
To define domains of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) that are important to its ability to inhibit fibroblast-type collagenase (FIB-CL), two different approaches were used: (i) competition with synthetic peptides modeled after the human TIMP-1 sequence and (ii) localization of epitopes of blocking antibodies. TIMP-1 consists of six loops, held in place by six disulfide bonds arra...
متن کامل[Assessment of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) in laryngeal cancer].
UNLABELLED Metalloproteinases are the proteolytic enzymes that digest components of the extracellular matrix in many physiological and pathological conditions. Their activity is regulated by their natural inhibitors: non-specific alpha2-macroglobulin and specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP). There are four TIMPs. TIMP-2 is the only enzyme that is expressed in constitutive man...
متن کاملthe effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test
in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...
15 صفحه اولPeptide from the C-terminal domain of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) inhibits membrane activation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2).
Cellular activation of latent matrix metalloproteinase-2 (proMMP-2) requires formation of a cell membrane-associated activation complex that involves specific binding between the hemopexin domain of proMMP-2 (PEX) and the C-terminal domain of tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (C-TIMP-2). In this study, we tested the feasibility of inhibiting activation of proMMP-2 by exogenous inh...
متن کاملTissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1, -2 and -3 in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle.
The extensive remodelling of the human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle is accompanied by changes in production of matrix metalloproteinases, the activity of which can be inhibited by specific tissue inhibitors or by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP)s with a 1:1 stoichiometry. This study immunolocalized TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3 in dated normal human endometrium across th...
