<p>A novel transmembrane matrix metalloprotease polypeptide [MT4-MMP(2)] having a physiological activity different from MT4-MMP reported hitherto; a DNA encoding this metalloprotease polypeptide; a process for producing the metalloprotease polypeptide; and a method for screening an inhibitor, an activator, etc. by using the above metalloprotease polypeptide and DNA. Novel human and mouse transmembrane matrix metalloprotease polypeptides [MT5-MMP] having a physiological activity; DNAs encoding these metalloprotease polypeptides; a process for producing these metalloprotease polypeptides; and a method for screening an inhibitor, an activator, etc. by using the above metalloprotease polypeptides and DNAs.</p> |
