Human membrane type‐4 matrix metalloproteinase (MT4‐MMP) is encoded by a novel major transcript: isolation of complementary DNA clones for human and mouse mt4‐mmp transcripts

Abstract
Five distinct membrane‐type matrix metalloproteinases (MT‐MMP) have been reported by cDNA cloning. However, the mt4‐mmp gene product (MMP‐17) has not been identified yet in spite of the cDNA isolatio...
