Background

Matrix metalloproteinase-14, also called MT-MMP 1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP14 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the membrane-type MMP subfamily. This gene is mapped to 14q11.2. 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. This gene may be involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganization by cleaving PTK7. It acts as a positive regulator of cell growth and migration via activation of MMP15.

Function

Seems to specifically activate progelatinase A. May thus trigger invasion by tumor cells by activating progelatinase A on the tumor cell surface. May be involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganization by cleaving PTK7. Acts as a positive regulator of cell growth and migration via activation of MMP15. Involved in the formation of the fibrovascular tissues in association with pro- MMP2. .
