Abstract
Matrilysin or MMP-7, one of the smallest of all known matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), has been studied extensively in many different tumor types, since its discovery more than 20 years ago. However, research during the past several years has revealed that this protease also plays an essential role in innate immunity, and, more particularly, in inflammatory disorders.Entities:
