Abstract

The activation of pro matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by sequential proteolysis of the propeptide blocking the active site cleft is regarded as one of the key levels of regulation of these proteinases. Potential physiological mechanisms including cell‐associated plasmin generation by urokinase‐like plasminogen activator, or the action of cell surface MT1‐MMPs appear to be involved in the initiation of cascades of pro MMP activation. Gelatinase A, collagenase 3 and gelatinase B may be activated by MT‐MMP based mechanisms, as evidenced by both biochemical and cell based studies. Hence the regulation of MT‐MMPs themselves becomes critical to the determination of MMP activity. This includes activation, assembly at the cell surfaces as TIMP‐2 complexes and subsequent inactivation by proteolysis or TIMP inhibition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
