Research has shown that MMP-1 may have many medical implications. MMP-1 plays an important role in many physiologic processes such as development, tissue morphogenesis, wound repair and the remodeling of collagenous extracellular matrix. The enzyme is expressed by over 30 different cells. MMP-1 gene expression has also been shown to have implications with cancer treatment. MMP-1 can be used as a candidate marker that may be useful for identification of breast lesions that can develop into cancer.
