Relationship between -181 (A/G) region single nucleotide polymorphisms of matrilysin gene promoter and the onset and prevalence of colorectal cancer using tetra-primer ARMS PCR and RFLP-PCR techniques
Aim: MMP enzymes are a family of membrane proteins that are capable of digesting extracellular matrix compounds (ECM) and basement membrane. Matrilysin enzyme is the smallest member of MMP family that is encoded by MMP-7 gene (matrilysin). According to the reports, G allele of -181 A/G single nucle...
