MMP16; MMPX2; Matrix metalloproteinase-16; MMP-16; MMP-X2; Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase 3; MT-MMP 3; MTMMP3; Membrane-type-3 matrix metalloproteinase; MT3-MMP; MT3MMP
背景
Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMP's are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. The encoded protein activates MMP2 by cleavage. This gene was once referred to as MT-MMP2, but was renamed as MT-MMP3 or MMP16. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010],
功能
cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,cofactor:Calcium.,developmental stage:Expressed in tissues undergoing reconstruction. Present in fetal tissues, especially in brain. Expression seems to decline with advanced development.,domain:The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.,enzyme regulation:TIMP-2 shows little inhibitory activity compared to TIMP-1. TIMP-1 seems to have less binding affinity than TIMP-2 for the short isoform.,function:Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen type III and fibronectin. Activates progelatinase A. Involved in the matrix remodeling of blood vessels. The short isoform cleaves fibronectin and also collagen type III, but at low
