The Biology and Function of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2 in the Lungs

open access: yesPulmonary Medicine, 2022
Tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP) are a family of four endogenous proteins that primarily function to inhibit the activities of proteases such as the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP).

Relationship between Circulating Serpina3g, Matrix Metalloproteinase-9, and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 and -2 with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Severity

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. A protease-antiprotease imbalance has been suggested as a possible pathogenic mechanism for COPD.

Kind of Sample as Preanalytical Determinant of Matrix Metalloproteinases 2 and 9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2 in Blood [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 1998
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are interesting new diagnostic tools in oncology, liver diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). However, the preanalytical issue of their determination in blood was only recently shown (6).

Ratio of Metalloproteinase 2 to Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 2 in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 2009
To develop an index for the ratio of metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) to its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-2) in immunostained medullary thyroid carcinoma specimens and to correlate it with clinical and pathologic prognostic factors. Metalloproteinases, enzymes related to the degradation of the extracellular matrix, take part in carcinogenesis and have been ...
