Gelatinase B plays several important functions within neutrophil action, such as degrading extracellular matrix, activation of IL-1?, and cleavage of several chemokines.
22.
However, one of its most widely studied associated pathology is the relationship between Gelatinase B and cancer, due to its role in extracellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis.
23.
Regarding its structure, Gelatinase B has domains which can bind with gelatin, laminin, and collagens type I and IV-collagenases do not possess these binding domains.
24.
A . R . Farina and others have argued that Gelatinase B plays a central role in tumor progression, from angiogenesis, to stromal remodeling, and ultimately metastasis.
25.
Activity of MMP-2 relative to the other gelatinase ( MMP-9 ) has been associated with severity of chronic airway diseases including Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and Bronchiectasis.
26.
In the presence of lactose, it will also produce gas . " S . epidermidis " does not possess the gelatinase enzyme, so it cannot hydrolyze gelatin.
27.
Using a gelatinase B deficient mouse model, it was seen that gelatinase B coordinated epithelial wound repair and deficient mice were unable to remove the fibrinogen matrix during wound healing.

29.
However, Gelatinase B has been investigated in tumor metastasis diagnosis-Complexes of Gelatinase B / Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases are seen to be increased in gastrointestinal cancer and gynecologic malignancies
