Abstract
The present invention relates to a gene encoding stromylsin-3, which is a new member of the metalloproteinase family. Expression of the stromelysin-3 gene has been found to be specifically associated with invasive breast, head, neck and skin cancer. The invention also relates to antibodies which specifically bind to human stromylsin-3 and the use of these stromelysin-3 antibodies for detection of the stromylsin-3 protein in a sample.
