Recognition and catabolism of synthetic heterotrimeric collagen peptides by matrix metalloproteinases.
BACKGROUND: The general consensus is that interstitial collagens are digested by collagenases and denatured collagen by gelatinases, although processing of fibrillar and acetic-acid-soluble collagen by gelatinase A has also been reported. One of the main difficulties in studying the mechanism of act...
