Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-;2 gene polymorphisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2001 Proteinase/antiproteinase imbalance is the most widely accepted theory for development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mutations of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-;2 (TIMP-;2) that downregulate its activity may increase the activities of matrix metalloproteinases and result in the degradation of the lung matrix.Polymorphisms of

Gelsolin induces colorectal tumor cell invasion via modulation of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator cascade [PDF]
, 2012 Gelsolin is a cytoskeletal protein which participates in actin filament dynamics and promotes cell motility and plasticity. Although initially regarded as a tumor suppressor, gelsolin expression in certain tumors correlates with poor prognosis and ...

Structure and Characterization of the Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-2 Gene [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 We report here the characterization of the human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) gene. The gene is 83 kilobase pairs (kb) long with exon-intron splicing sites located in preserved positions among the three members of the TIMP family.
