Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14)

Target
MMP14
Molecular classification
Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase, Enzyme
01

Overview

Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14), also known as MT1-MMP, is a membrane-bound enzyme that plays a central role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and cellular migration. It cleaves various ECM components and activates pro-MMP2, facilitating ECM degradation. MMP14 is involved in normal physiological processes such as embryonic development and tissue remodeling, but also plays roles in pathological conditions such as arthritis and cancer metastasis.
