Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a Cancer Biomarker and MMP-9 Biosensors: Recent Advances
Sensors, 2018 As one of the most widely investigated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-9 is a significant protease which plays vital roles in many biological processes. MMP-9 can cleave many extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins to regulate ECM remodeling.

Novel Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) Inhibitors in Cancer Treatment
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic metalloenzymes. MMP-9, a member of the gelatinase B family, is characterized as one of the most intricate MMPs.

Does the functional polymorphism-1562C/T of MMP-9 gene influence brain disorders?
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is one of the most strongly expressed matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the brain. The MMP-9 activity in the brain is strictly regulated, and any disruptions in this regulation contribute to a development of many disorders ...

MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels in plasma are altered and associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients
Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2021 Respiratory symptoms are one of COVID-19 manifestations, and the metalloproteinases (MMPs) have essential roles in the lung physiology. We sought to characterize the plasmatic levels of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and 9 (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in patients with ...
