Role of cell surface matrix metalloproteinases

Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) is a subgroup of MMP family proteinases. To date, six members of MT-MMP have been discovered by cDNA cloning. They are expressed on the cell surface by anchoring to the plasma membrane. Four of them are transmembrane-type, and two are glycosylphosphati...
