A matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (INN stem –mastat [1]) inhibits matrix metalloproteinases. Because they inhibit cell migration, they have antiangiogenic effects. They are endogenous or exogenous. The most notorious endogenous metalloproteinases are tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases, followed by cartilage-derived angiogenesis ...
TIMP1 is an inhibitory molecule that regulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and disintegrin-metalloproteinases (ADAMs and ADAMTSs). [6] In regulating MMPs, TIMP1 plays a crucial role in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition, wound healing, [7] and pregnancy. [8] [9] [10] The dysregulated activity of TIMP1 has been implicated in cancer. [11]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrix metallopeptidases or matrixins, are metalloproteinases that are calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases; [1] other family members are adamalysins, serralysins, and astacins. The MMPs belong to a larger family of proteases known as the metzincin superfamily. [2]
This group of inhibitors contain a hydroxamate (-CONHOH) group that binds the zinc atom in the active site of the MMP enzyme, therefore this group is called "hydroxamate-based MMP inhibitors“. [6] An example can be seen in Marimastat , a first generation inhibitor, which has a similar backbone and sidechain format to collagen.
Matrilysin also known as matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), pump-1 protease (PUMP-1), or uterine metalloproteinase is an enzyme in humans that is encoded by the MMP7 gene. [5] The enzyme ( EC 3.4.24.23 ) has also been known as matrin , putative (or punctuated) metalloproteinase-1 , matrix metalloproteinase pump 1 , PUMP-1 proteinase , PUMP ...
Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are specific endogenous protease inhibitors to the matrix metalloproteinases. There are four TIMPs; TIMP1 , TIMP2 , TIMP3 and TIMP4 . [ 1 ] TIMP3 has been observed progressively downregulated in Human papillomavirus -positive neoplastic keratinocytes derived from uterine cervical preneoplastic ...
Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TIMP4 gene. [5] [6] [7]This gene belongs to the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases gene family. . The proteins encoded by this gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular mat
