MMP-1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) . Proteins in this 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. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This secreted protease breaks down the interstitial collagens, including types I, II, and III. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11. Mutations in this gene are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016], catalytic activity:Cleavage of the triple helix of collagen at about three-quarters of the length of the molecule from the N-terminus, at 775-Gly-|-Ile-776 in the alpha-1 (I) chain. Cleaves synthetic substrates and alpha-macroglobulins at bonds where P1' is a hydrophobic residue., cofactor:Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit., cofactor:Binds 4 calcium ions per subunit., 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., domain:There are two distinct domains in this protein; the catalytic N-terminal, and the C-terminal which is involved in substrate specificity and in binding TIMP (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases) ., enzyme regulation:Can be activated without removal of the activation peptide., function:Cleaves collagens of types I, II, and III at one site in the helical domain. Also cleaves collagens of types VII and X. In case of HIV infection, interacts and cleaves the secreted viral Tat protein, leading to a decrease in neuronal Tat's mediated neurotoxicity., online information:Collagenase entry, PTM:Undergoes autolytic cleavage to two major forms (22 kDa and 27 kDa) . A minor form (25 kDa) is the glycosylated form of the 22 kDa form. The 27 kDa form has no activity while the 22/25 kDa form can act as activator for collagenase., similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M10A family., similarity:Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains., subunit:Interacts with HIV-1 Tat.
