    Abstract:
    The membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) constitute a newly discovered family of four enzymes within the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) superfamily. We have mapped the genes for MT1-MMP (MMP14), MT2-MMP (MMP15), and MT3-MMP (MMP16) using in situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes. In contrast to the genes for many MMPs that are clustered on chromosome 11, the genes MMP14, MMP15, and MMP16 all map to distinct chromosomes. MMP14 maps to human chromosome 14, MMP15 to human chromosome 16, and MMP16 to human chromosome 8.
