Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases that are responsible for the degradation of several components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and some non-ECM proteins. MMPs are subdivided into 6 groups according to their structure and substrate specificity: collagenases, gelatinases, membrane-type MMPs, stromelysins, and matrilizines. Collagenases are important proteolytic tools during ECM remodeling, tissue regeneration, and organ...
