Figure 4. Patterns of MMP and TIMP RNA Levels Seen During X. laevis Tail Metamorphosis Derived From RT-PCR Data.Levels of RNA found during tail metamorphosis demonstrated that MT1-MMP, TIMP-2 and MMP-2 shared similar RNA expression patterns, peaking at stage 61 and staying elevated at stage 63. MT3-MMP and TIMP-3 expression patterns in the tail were not similar to the three other genes, nor to each other. Changes in RNA levels are not quantitative, but instead illustrate patterns of expression. Image published in: Walsh LA et al. (2007) Walsh et al.
