Other NameMMP3; STMY1; Stromelysin-1; SL-1; Matrix metalloproteinase-3; MMP-3; Transin-1
Functioncatalytic activity:Preferential cleavage where P1', P2' and P3' are hydrophobic residues.,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.,function:Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.,similarity:Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.,
Subcellular LocationSecreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix .
ExpressionFibroblast,Lung,Synovium,
Backgroundmatrix metallopeptidase 3(MMP3) Homo sapiens 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. This gene encodes an enzyme which degrades fibronectin, laminin, collagens III, IV, IX, and X, and cartilage proteoglycans. The enzyme is thought to be involved in wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis, and tumor initiation. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3.
