This article has been retracted at the request of the authors with the agreement of the editor. Reason: the authors feel that their conclusions are not fully substantiated by the results. Specifically the result regarding the specificity of the MMP-26 hybridization signal.

The authors wrote: “Mouse MMP-26 gene has not been found in Gene Bank and the full length of MMP-26 cDNA has not been cloned so far, we cannot exclude the possibility that the hybridization signals in the mouse uteri were probably nonspecific, and this will be investigated in our future studies”.
