metalloproteinases

How are Metalloproteinases Related to Toxicology?

In the field of toxicology, metalloproteinases are of interest due to their involvement in tissue damage and repair mechanisms. They are implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases caused by toxic agents or environmental pollutants. For example, certain metalloproteinases are upregulated in response to exposure to toxic substances such as heavy metals, leading to increased tissue degradation and inflammation.
