Matrix Metalloproteinases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2010
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrixins, belong to a group of zinc-dependent proteins, which are thought to play a central role in the breakdown of extracellular matrix. Collagen, elastin, gelatin and casein are major components cleaved by MMPs.

Matrix Metalloproteinases

Journal of UOEH, 1997
Matrix-degrading enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases, are members of a unique family of Zinc-binding endopeptidases that are responsible for the metabolism of extracellular components in the tissue stroma. Their controlled expression is essential for normal processes such as wound healing and tissue remodeling, including embryogenesis.
