Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2)-deficient mice display motor deficits [PDF]

Journal of Neurobiology, 2005
The degradation of the extracellular matrix is regulated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Matrix components of the basement membrane play critical roles in the development and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), yet almost nothing is known about the regulation of MMP and TIMP ...

Protective Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Allergic Bronchial Asthma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Inflammation, reversible obstruction, and hyperresponsiveness of the airways are characteristic findings of bronchial asthma. Several evidence has demonstrated the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in allergic airway inflammation.

Characterization of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1993
Analysis of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metallo-proteinases-2 (TIMP-2) was performed using limited proteolytic degradation with trypsin. This treatment generated a 13.5 kDa fragment which was purified and shown to consist of an uncleaved N-terminal region extending from residue 1 to residue 132.

Matrix metalloproteinase-2, -9, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 gene polymorphisms in Taiwanese periodontitis patients

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2016
Background/purpose: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMPs) have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of tissue destruction in periodontitis. The associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
