Research Abstract |
MT1-MMP is an integral membrane protease that acts as an important component of cellular machinery promoting invasion and tumor growth. It is also a potent modulator of tumor microenvironment. In this study, we identified substrates of MT1-MMP, analyzed regulation of the proteolytic events, surveyed proteins that bind MT1-MMP, and studied non-protease activity of MT1-MMP. We also validated the potential therapeutic value of MT1-MMP as a molecule target for development of therapeutic strategies.
