basic FUNCTION
| regulator of extracellular matrix remodeling |
|
ability to cleave collagens I, II, III, cleaving preferentially the type I collagen |
|
biological effects: keratinocyte migration and reepithelialization, cell migration, platelet aggregation, increased bioavailability of IGF1 and cell, proinflammatory, antiinflammatory |
|
essential role of MAZ and JUN in up-regulating human MMP1 expression under various inflammatory conditions |
|
cleaving F2R at the proper site for receptor activation |
|
primary function of MMP1, under the control of the JNK pathway, is to promote basement membrane repair, which in turn may permit cell migration and the restoration of a continuous tissue |
|
emerging new target implicated in oncogenesis and metastasis in diverse cancers |
|
plays a key role in the metastatic behavior of melanoma, breast, and prostate cancer cells |
|
important mediator of tumorigenesis, inflammation and tissue remodeling through its ability to degrade critical matrix components |
