MMP Mediated Degradation of Type VI Collagen Is Highly Associated with Liver Fibrosis – Identification and Validation of a Novel Biochemical Marker Assay

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: During fibrogenesis, in which excessive remodeling of the extracellular matrix occurs, both the quantity of type VI collagen and levels of matrix metalloproteinases, including MMP-2 and MMP-9, increase significantly. Proteolytic degradation of type VI collagen into small fragmen...
