Metalloproteinase cleavage of versican at the fibroblast cell surface

Versican is a large aggregating proteoglycan expressed in the pericellular matrix of fibroblast cells. It is highly expressed during development and remodeling. The regulated synthesis and degradation of versican are associated with physiological remodeling. Versican is expressed in fibroproliferati...
