Product Details

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is assumed to be caused by aberrant tissue repair and remodeling following recurrent alveolar epithelial injury leading to a persistent and progressive disordered fibroproliferation1. The matrix metalloproteinases belong to the zinc dependent endoproteases that participate in extracellular matrix remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of IPF2.

Background

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is assumed to be caused by aberrant tissue repair and remodeling following recurrent alveolar epithelial injury leading to a persistent and progressive disordered fibroproliferation1. The matrix metalloproteinases belong to the zinc dependent endoproteases that participate in extracellular matrix remodeling, wound healing, and angiogenesis and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of IPF2. MMP family expression are highly upregulated in IPF lungs. The protein expression level has also been found to be upregulated in lavage fluid and blood of IPF patients.
