P 88: Matrix Metalloproteinases in Neuroinflammation
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. MMPs have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) by degrading the c...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases
What makes an MMP an MMP? They all have a conserved zinc-binding site in their catalytic domain (HEXGHXXGXXH), and the sequence PRCGVPD in the propeptide domain. The cysteine residue serves to anchor the propeptide to the catalytic zinc, suppressing enzymatic activity in a manner that is not unlike a thumb in an open mouth. Release of this interaction results in proteolytic activity. MMPs are a...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases in skin.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases collectively capable of degrading essentially all extracellular matrix components. These enzymes can be produced by several different types of cells in skin such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, mast cells, and eosinophils and their activity can be specifically inhibited by TIMPs (tissue...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases.
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of highly regulated peptidases that are collectively responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix during tissue remodeling. Dysregulated activity has long been implicated in the pathologies of cancer and arthritis, and the number of diseases more recently associated with these enzymes has been increasing. In the past year, new transgenic models ...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a gene family of neutral proteases that are important in normal development, wound healing, and a wide variety of pathological processes, including the spread of metastatic cancer cells, arthritic destruction of joints, atherosclerosis, and neuroinflammation. In the central nervous system (CNS), MMPs have been shown to degrade components of the basal lamina,...
