Matrilysin (matrix metalloproteinase 7) in parturition, premature rupture of membranes, and intrauterine infection
Article Abstract:
Infections in the uterus appear to increase the production of an enzyme called matrilysin, according to a study of 275 pregnant women. Matrilysin belongs to a group of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases.
