Matrix metalloproteinases in lung biology
Despite much information on their catalytic properties and gene regulation, we actually know very little of what matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) do in tissues. The catalytic activity of these enzymes has been implicated to function in normal lung biology by participating in branching morphogenesis, homeostasis, and repair, among other events. Overexpression of MMPs, however, has also been blam...
متن کاملP 88: Matrix Metalloproteinases in Neuroinflammation
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. MMPs have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) by degrading the c...

متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases
What makes an MMP an MMP? They all have a conserved zinc-binding site in their catalytic domain (HEXGHXXGXXH), and the sequence PRCGVPD in the propeptide domain. The cysteine residue serves to anchor the propeptide to the catalytic zinc, suppressing enzymatic activity in a manner that is not unlike a thumb in an open mouth. Release of this interaction results in proteolytic activity. MMPs are a...
