MMP-2/MMP-9 Inhibitor I

MMP-9 and TIMP-1 Assays in Keratinocyte Cultures

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are known to play important roles in the metabolism of epidermal tissue. Among them, MMP-9 and its relatively specific inhibitor, TIMP-1, have been reported

(Table 1 ). The enzymatic activity of MMP family members is controlled by a group of inhibitor proteins known as the Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs), which consist of four family members (Table 2 ). Whereas all four TIMPs can inhibit
