Matrilysin also known as matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP7 gene. Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Synonyms: Monoclonal MMP7 antibody, Anti-MMP7 antibody, Matrix Metalloproteinase 7 antibody, MMP 7 antibody, MMP-7 antibody.
