The Role of MMP-9 and MMP-9 Inhibition in Different Types of Thyroid Carcinoma
Molecules, 2023 Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), one of the most investigated and studied biomarkers of the MMPs family, is a zinc-dependent proteolytic metalloenzyme whose primary function is degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM).

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 ...

Localization Of MMP-2 And MMP-9 In Canine Mammary Gland During Pregnancy [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical & Clinical Research, 2014 The mammary gland is unique in its development because most of its branching occurs in adolescent rather than in prenatal development. During early pregnancy extensive ductal side branching occurs while during the second half, secretory lobuloalveolar ...

Imbalances between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in maternal serum during preterm labor [PDF]
, 2012 Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during pregnancy and parturition. Aberrant ECM degradation by MMPs or an imbalance between MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) have been ...

Changes of Serum Concentrations of Alkaline Phosphatase and Metalloproteinase-9 in an Ovariectomized Wistar Rat Model of Osteoporosis [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical & Clinical Research, 2017 Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mass, destruction of the microarchitectonics of bone structure and a high risk for fracture. One of the criteria for altered bone homeostasis includes the changes in serum levels

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...
