Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The extracellular matrix is a network of fibres that hold cells together. It is broken down during normal physiological and disease processes such as bone remodelling, embryogenesis, cancer, and arthritis. This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive collection of data about the matrix metalloproteinases - enzymes which breakdown the extracellular matrix, and their specific inhibitors.
MoreLong description:
The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a large family of enzymes that break down different components of the extracellular matrix. Their catalytic activity is dependent on the metal ion zinc. This issue of the Protein Profiles covers the sequence information, three-dimensional structures, activation, protein substrates, specificity requirements, inhibition, and biological roles of all the currently identified MMPs. The action of these enzymes must be carefully regulated. One way the cell does this is by releasing inhibitory molecules known as tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). This volume contains information on the sequences, three-dimensional structures, and biological roles of the four known TIMPs. Matrix metalloproteinases and TIMPs will therefore be an invaluable source of data for all researchers interested in MMPs and TIMPS.
