The expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2) is required for normal development of zebrafish embryos.
MMP activities are controlled by a combination of proteolytic pro-enzyme activation steps and inhibition by endogenous inhibitors like alpha2-macroglobulin and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). TIMPs are the key inhibitors in tissue. The expression of both MMPs and TIMPs is contro...
