Background InformationMMP-3 (matrix metalloproteinase-3), also known as stromelysin-1, is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of zinc endopeptidases. MMP’s are required for removal of extracellular matrix machinery during embryo development, morphogenesis and tissue remodeling. Endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are responsible for regulating MMP-3. Any disruption of this system can cause diseases such as arthritis, metastasis, atherosclerosis and tumor growth.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryProteins 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.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Preferential cleavage where P1', P2' and P3' are hydrophobic residues.

COFACTOR: Binds 4 calcium ions per subunit.

Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted › extracellular space › extracellular matrix Probable.

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.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.

Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
Molecular Weight~58 kDa observed.
An uncharacterized band may be seen at ~78 kDa.
