Role of ADAM and ADAMTS metalloproteinases in airway diseases
Respiratory Research, 2009 Lungs are exposed to the outside environment and therefore to toxic and infectious agents or allergens. This may lead to permanent activation of innate immune response elements.

Cysteine peptidases and their inhibitors in breast and genital cancer.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010 Cysteine proteinases and their inhibitors probably play the main role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. The metastasis process need external proteolytic activities that pass several barriers which are membranous structures of the connective tissue which ...

Cysteine proteinases and cystatins
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2003 This review describeds the definition, localization, functions and examples of cysteine proteinases and their protein inhibitors in vertebrate, non-vertebrate animals and plants. These inhibitors are related with defense mechanisms of plant against pests.
