72 kDa type IV collagenase also known as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and gelatinase A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP2 gene. [5] The MMP2 gene is located on chromosome 16 at position 12.2.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrix metallopeptidases or matrixins, are metalloproteinases that are calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases; [1] other family members are adamalysins, serralysins, and astacins. The MMPs belong to a larger family of proteases known as the metzincin superfamily. [2]
Neutrophil collagenase, also known as matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) or PMNL collagenase (MNL-CL), is a collagen cleaving enzyme which is present in the connective tissue of most mammals. [5] In humans, the MMP-8 protein is encoded by the MMP8 gene. [6] [7] The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3. [5]
Matrilysin also known as matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), pump-1 protease (PUMP-1), or uterine metalloproteinase is an enzyme in humans that is encoded by the MMP7 gene. [5] The enzyme ( EC 3.4.24.23 ) has also been known as matrin , putative (or punctuated) metalloproteinase-1 , matrix metalloproteinase pump 1 , PUMP-1 proteinase , PUMP ...
[2] Overall, all MMPs are inhibited by TIMPs once they are activated, but the gelatinases ( MMP-2 and MMP-9 ) can form complexes with TIMPs when the enzymes are in their latent form. The complex of latent MMP-2 (pro-MMP-2)with TIMP-2 serves to facilitate the activation of pro-MMP-2 at the cell surface by MT1-MMP ( MMP-14 ), a membrane-anchored MMP.

Stromelysin-1 also known as matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP3 gene. The MMP3 gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3. [ 5 ]
[5] [6] It is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. Like most MMPs, it is secreted as an inactive pro-form. [7] MMP-13 has a predicted molecular weight around 54 kDa. [8] It is activated once the pro-domain is cleaved, leaving an active enzyme composed of the catalytic domain and the hemopexin-like domain . Although the actual ...
