MMP-10, also known as stromelysin-2, is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family. These enzymes are involved in the degradation and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is critical for normal physiological processes such as wound healing and tissue remodeling.
MMP-10 plays a significant role in cancer progression by promoting ECM degradation and remodeling, which facilitates tumor invasion, metastasis, and overall aggressiveness. Its overexpression in various cancers has been linked to poorer survival outcomes, making it a potential prognostic biomarker.
