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 ...
Inhibition of TACE and MMP-1 are linked to the musculoskeletal side effects seen in hydroxamate metalloproteinase inhibitors, but this compound spares the enzymes. [12] It has been shown to diminish tumor growth in nasal cancer in rats as well as prostate cancer cell cultures .
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]
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
Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when ...
