  matrix metalloproteases, matrix metalloproteinases
  Definition: Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is associated with nearly every tumor type. Although many studies have shown that MMPs can promote malignancy, recent evidence has revealed that MMPs can play a causative role also in the earliest stages of cancer development.
  MMPs not only compromise cell-cell and cell-substratum adhesion processes that impact genomic surveillance mechanisms but also act directly on (...)

• vesicular coat proteins
  29 October 2003

  Proteins and lipids to be transported are sorted to specific sites on the donor membrane, or compartment, and transport vesicles bud with the aid of cytosolic complexes of coat proteins.
  Vesicles move along cytoskeletal tracks, either microtubules or actin filaments, with the help of motor proteins.
  The vesicle is tethered and docked near the target membrane and subsequently fuses with the acceptor bilayer, releasing its contents into the target, or acceptor, compartment.
  Vesicular coat (...)
