Chlorotoxin does not target matrix metalloproteinase-2 in glioblastoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONEGlioblastoma aggressively invades surrounding tissue by expressing matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Therefore, effective inhibition of MMP-2 is a desirable target for treatment.

Contribution of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Risk in Taiwan [PDF]
LifeMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9, which degrade type IV collagen, are linked to cancer invasion and metastasis. Gene polymorphisms in MMP-2 and MMP-9 can influence their function, impacting cancer development and progression.

Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 immunoreactive protein [PDF]
Cancer, 1998 Previous studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) (a 72-kilodalton Type IV collagenase/gelatinase A) is associated with breast carcinoma, but to the authors' knowledge there are no reports showing that it is prognostic for overall survival.Expression of the immunoreactive protein for MMP-2 was evaluated in tissue sections from primary
