| membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase | <enzyme> Activates gelatinase a; isolated from a human placenta cdna gene library; contains a transmembrane domain; do not use for any other numbered matrix metalloproteinases; genbank d26512 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mt-mmp, mmp-x1 protein, matrix metalloproteinase, membrane-type, mmp14 gene product, mmp-14 gene product, mt1-mmp, matrix metalloproteinase 14, mt2-mmp, mmp15 gene product, mmp16 gene product (26 Jun 1999) |

| groove of nail matrix | The cutaneous furrow in which the lateral border of the nail is situated. Synonym: groove of nail matrix, vallecula unguis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitochondrial matrix | The substance occupying the space enclosed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion; it contains enzymes, filaments of DNA, ribosomes, granules, and inclusions of protein crystals, glycogen, and lipid. Synonym: mitochondrial matrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytoplasmic matrix | A fluid cytoplasmic substance filling the interstices of the cytoskeleton. Synonym: cell matrix, cytomatrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| soil matrix | The portion of a given soil having the dominant colour, in most cases, the matrix will be the portion of the soil having more than 50 percent of the same colour. (09 Oct 1997) |
| SP220K cell surface matrix proteinase | <enzyme> Inactive form has guanidinobenzoatase activity; active form has gelatinolytic activity Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: sp220k enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| spectrometry, mass, matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization | A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.

| nail matrix | The area of the corium on which the nail rests; it is extremely sensitive and presents numerous longitudinal ridges on its surface. According to some anatomists, the nail bed is the portion covered by the body of the nail, the nail matrix being only the part on which the root of the nail rests. Synonym: matrix unguis, keratogenous membrane, nail matrix, onychostroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| square matrix | A matrix in which the numbers of rows and columns are equal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nuclear matrix | <cell biology> Membrane system that surrounds the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Consists of inner and outer membranes separated by perinuclear space and perforated by nuclear pores. The term should be used in preference to the term nuclear membrane which is potentially very confusing. (18 Nov 1997) |
| identity matrix | A square matrix in which the quantities on the diagnonal from top left to bottom right are all equal to 1 and all the other entries are 0. (05 Mar 2000) |
| territorial matrix | The more intensely basophilic matrix in hyaline cartilage surrounding the lacunae in which the cartilage cells lie. Synonym: territorial matrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external matrix | The substance occupying the space between the inner and outer membrane of any organelle (e.g., mitochondria) with a double membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extracellular matrix | Any material produced by cells and secreted into the surrounding medium, but usually applied to the noncellular portion of animal tissues. The ecm of connective tissue is particularly extensive and the properties of the ecm determine the properties of the tissue. In broad terms there are three major components: fibrous elements particularly collagen, elastin or reticulin), link proteins (e.g. Fibronectin, laminin) and space filling molecules (usually glycosaminoglycans). The matrix may be mineralised to resist compression (as in bone) or dominated by tension resisting fibres (as in tendon). The basal lamina of epithelial cells is another commonly encountered ecm. Although ecm is produced by cells, it has recently become clear that the ecm can influence the behaviour of cells quite markedly, an important factor to consider when growing cells in vitro: removing cells from their normal environment can have far reaching effects.

| androgen binding protein | A protein secreted by testicular Sertoli cells along with inhibin and mullerian inhibiting substance. Androgen binding protein probably maintains a high concentration of androgen in the seminiferous tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
