Effects of a synthetic peptide derived from collagen binding domain of decorin on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated collagen degradation

Decorin is the most characterized member of Small Leucine-Rich Repeat Proteoglycan (SLRP) family. It has been previously shown that some SLRP members including decorin bind to collagen type I. Binding of decorin to collagen was reported to inhibit collagen degradation by collagenases, suggesting tha...
