Antigen Details
- Structure
- Monomer. Human MMP2 contains 660 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 73.9 kD. Upon activation by p-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA), it has a predicted molecular weight of 62 kD.
- Distribution
-
MMP2 is expressed by fibroblasts, endothelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, and macrophages.
- Function
- MMP2 is a metalloproteinase that specifically cleaves type IV collagen, which is the major structural component of basement membranes. MMP2 is thought to contribute to the invasion and the metastasis of various human malignancies.
- Interaction
