2010, European Journal of CancerCitation Excerpt :Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), also termed gelatinase B or the 92-kDa type IV collagenase, is an extracellular protease that specifically degrades collagen type IV, which is the major structural component of basement membranes.13 MMP-9 is particularly important in the context of cancer, as it allows cancer cells to infiltrate the adjacent stromal compartment, thereby facilitating a critical early step in the metastatic cascade.2,4–6,9,11,12,14,16–19 Moreover MMP-9 activates various growth factors and angiogenesis inhibitors like angiostatin with significance to tumour progression indicating a role as a general molecular switch in the microenvironment.20
