Summary |
This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of proteins. These proteins are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Proteolysis at different sites on this protein results in multiple active forms of the enzyme with distinct N-termini. This protein functions in the degradation of type I, II and III collagens. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

45 women with PCOS and healthy periodontium, 35 with PCOS and gingivitis, 25 systemically and periodontally healthy women, and 20 systemically healthy women with gingivitis were recruited from the outpatient clinic of the Department of Endocrinology, School of Medicine, Ayd?n Government Hospital, Turkey |
Increased levels of MMP-8 and MMP-8/TIMP-1 ratio in saliva and serum seem to be more pronounced in women with PCOS, and potentiated by gingival inflammation. |
