Antigen Details
- Structure
- Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. Monomer. Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains with an approximate predicted molecular weight of 54 kD. Mature form of MMP3 upon activation by p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA), has predicted molecular weight of 45 kD.
- Distribution
- Extracellular. MMP3 is expressed by fibroblasts, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages.
- Function
- MMP3 degrades fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V, collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. It activates procollagenases. MMP3 is thought to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Interaction
- Fibronectin, laminin, collagens III, IV, IX, and X, cartilage proteoglycans, decorin, osteopontin, and IBP-3.
- Ligand/Receptor
- Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs).
- Biology Area
- Angiogenesis, Cell Adhesion, Cell Biology, Neuroinflammation, Neuroscience
- Molecular Family
- Enzymes and Regulators
