High impact information on Mmp16

  • MT3-MMP requires TIMP-2 to accomplish full pro-MMP-2 activation and this process is enhanced in marimastatpretreated cells, consistent with regulation of active enzyme turnover by synthetic MMP inhibitors [1].
  • TIMP-3 also enhances the activation of pro-MMP-2 by MT3-MMP but not by MT1-MMP [1].
  • Here we investigated the processing, catalytic activity, and TIMP inhibition of MT3-MMP (MMP-16) [1].
  • Our results suggest that MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP, and MT3-MMP may be involved in remodeling of both the normal and diseased mammary gland either directly or indirectly by activation of other MMPs [2].
  • MT1-MMP and MT3-MMP were found in the mammary stroma mainly around epithelial structures in both developing and mature mammary gland [2].
 

Anatomical context of Mmp16

  • MT1-MMP was localized in the epithelial tissue of the cornea, whereas MT2-MMP and MT3-MMP were mainly found in the interface between the epithelium and substantia propria [3].
 

Other interactions of Mmp16

  • These results demonstrate that TIMP-3 is a major regulator of MT3-MMP activity and further underscores the unique interactions of TIMPs with MT-MMPs in the control of pericellular proteolysis [1].
