Novel membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-5 gene

摘要

HCE3P83 polypeptides (membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-5) and polynucleotides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing HCE3P83 polypeptides and polynucleotides in the design of protocols for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, stroke, cancer, inflammation, arthritis, musculoskeletal disease, heart disease and kidney disease, among others, and diagnostic assays for such conditions.
