Background InformationAll cells within tissues are surrounded by an extracellular matrix (ECM) giving the tissues shape and structure. The ECM is constantly being remodeled and constant communication is maintained between cells through this matrix. Secreted proteins, termed matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), are involved in the modulation of cell matrix interactions. MMPs are Zn2+ binding endopeptidases that degrade various components of the ECM. MMPs are enzymes implicated in normal and pathologic tissue remodeling processes, wound healing, angiogenesis, and tumor invasion. These enzymes are very potent when active, and are associated with extracellular space inhibitors called TIMPs (tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases).

MMP9, also known as gelatinase B, is a secreted enzyme which degrades the interstitial collagens, types I, II, and III and is produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.

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. The enzyme encoded by this gene degrades type IV and V collagens. Studies in rhesus monkeys suggest that the enzyme is involved in IL-8-induced mobilization of hematopoietic progenitor cells from bone marrow, and murine studies suggest a role in tumor-associated tissue remodeling.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: May play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cleavage of gelatin types I and V and collagen types IV and V.

Cofactor Binds 2 zinc ions per subunit.

Binds 3 calcium ions per subunit.

ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by histatin-3 1/24 (histatin-5).

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Exists as monomer, disulfide-linked homodimer, and as a heterodimer with a 25 kDa protein. Macrophages and transformed cell lines produce only the monomeric form.

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

TISSUE SPECIFICTY: Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.

INDUCTION: Activated by 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate and phorbol ester.

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.

PTM: Processing of the precursor yields different active forms of 64, 67 and 82 kDa. Sequentially processing by MMP3 yields the 82 kDa matrix metalloproteinase-9.

N- and O-glycosylated.

INVOLVEMENT IN DISEASE: Defects in MMP9 may be a cause of susceptibility to lumbar disk herniation (LDH) [MIM:603932]. LDH is the predominant cause of low-back pain and unilateral leg pain.

MISCELLANEOUS: In the arthritis patient this enzyme might contribute to the pathogenesis of joint destruction and might constitute a useful marker of disease status.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.

Contains 3 fibronectin type-II domains.

Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
Molecular Weight92kDa (pro-form) and 88kDa (active form)
