The unique membrane-associated inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases, RECK, is required for vascular maturation during embryogenesis. The phenotype of a loss of function mutation of RECK shows the importance of pericellular proteolysis in development.
基质金属蛋白酶的独特膜相关抑制剂RECK是胚胎发育过程中血管成熟所必需的。RECK功能丧失突变的表型显示了细胞周围蛋白水解在发育中的重要性。
