Rat Matrix Metalloproteinase 2, MMP2 ELISA Kit , 96T Drug Development and Evaluation This gene may show increased

This gene may show increased expression in the adrenal gland and lymphatic tissues

Mutations in this gene result in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII

May play an important role in cell proliferation and/or anti-apoptosis

while the protein coding ORF is expressed at high levels in response to stress

Rat Matrix Metalloproteinase 2, MMP2 ELISA Kit , 96T Drug Development and Evaluation This gene may show increasedUbiquitinous metalloproteinase that is involved in diverse functions such as remodeling of the vasculature, angiogenesis, tissue repair, tumor invasion, inflammation, and atherosclerotic plaque rupture. As well as degrading extracellular matrix proteins, can also act on several nonmatrix proteins such as big endothelial 1 and beta type CGRP promoting vasoconstriction. Also cleaves KISS at a Gly Leu bond. Appears to have a role in myocardial cell death
