Alternate Names

Background InformationProteins 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. However, MMP-14 is a member of the membrane-type MMP (MT-MMP) subfamily; each member of this subfamily contains a potential transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. MT1-MMP is capable of mediating pericellular proteolysis of extracellular matrix components and is therefore thought to be an important molecular tool for cellular remodeling of the surrounding matrix. This protein also activates MMP2 protein, and this activity may be involved in tumor invasion.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P50281 # Seems to specifically activate progelatinase A. May thus trigger invasion by tumor cells by activating progelatinase A on the tumor cell surface.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit (By similarity). & Calcium (By similarity).
SIZE: 582 amino acids; 65884 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential). Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In stromal cells of colon, breast, and head and neck.
DOMAIN: SwissProt: P50281 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.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. & Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
Molecular Weight60 kDa
