Gm. Grant et al., Overview of expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-17, MMP-18, and MMP-20) in cultured human cells, MATRIX BIOL, 18(2), 1999, pp. 145-148
We recently described the cell type distribution of several matrix metallop
roteinases (MMP-1 through MMP-16). In this report we extend this study by a
nalysis of three recently described MMPs. PCR primers for MMP-17, MMP-18, a
nd MMP-20 were optimized for use in RT-PCR. The results demonstrate one or
more cell lines or tissue that express mRNA for each of these newly describ
ed MMPs. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V./International Society of Matrix Bio
