Engineered tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 variants resistant to endocytosis have prolonged chondroprotective activity

Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-3 (TIMP-3) is a central inhibitor of matrix-degrading and sheddase families of metalloproteinases. Extracellular levels of the inhibitor are regulated by the balance between its retention on the extracellular matrix and its endocytic clearance by the scavenger...
