Direct expression of active human tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases by periplasmic secretion in Escherichia coli

Abstract Background As regulators of multifunctional metalloproteinases including MMP, ADAM and ADAMTS families, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) play a pivotal role in extracellular matrix remodeling, which is involved in a wide variety of physiological processes. Since abnormal meta...
