Overview of expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-17, MMP-18, and MMP-20) in cultured human cells

Matrix Biol. 1999 Apr;18(2):145-8. doi: 10.1016/s0945-053x(99)00003-7.

Abstract

We recently described the cell type distribution of several matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 through MMP-16). In this report we extend this study by analysis of three recently described MMPs. PCR primers for MMP-17, MMP-18, and 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 described MMPs.
