The effects of plasma proteins on controlling the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs,
matrixins) have been the focus of numerous studies, although only a few have examined the
influence of matrixins on plasma proteins. Recently, it has been shown that MMPs may play
a role in the degradation of fibrin. We have now investigated the role of collagenase-2 (MMP-
8), macrophage elastase (MMP-12), collagenase-3 (MMP-13), and membrane type 1-matrix
metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP, MMP-14) in the degradation of fibrinogen and Factor XII of …
