Research has shown that MMP-1 may have many health implications. MMP-1 plays an important role in diverse physiologic processes such as development, tissue morphogenesis, and wound repair. MMP-1 plays an important role in the remodeling of collagenous extracellular matrix in various physiologic and pathologic situations. The enzyme is expressed by a wide variety of cell types, including over 30 cell types. MMP-1 gene expression has been shown to be a prognostic factor for local recurrence and metastasis in human chondrosarcoma. MMP-1 gene expression analysis of atypical ductal hyperplastic tissues from patients with and without a history of breast cancer, identifying MMP-1 as a candidate marker that may be useful for identification of breast lesions that can develop into cancer.
