<scene name='User:Jiaming_Zhuang/Sandbox_2/Mmp-9 complex/1'>MMP9</scene>
MMP9 is a member of ''' matrix metalloproteinases''' (MMPs) which are zinc-dependent endopeptidases. It has been found to associate with many types of cancers and investigated as a potential drug target. Various of <scene name='User:Jiaming_Zhuang/Sandbox_2/Ligand/1'>inhibitors</scene> have been designed to bind to the <scene name='User:Jiaming_Zhuang/Sandbox_2/Domain1/1'>catalytic domain</scene> and inhibit the activity of MMP9.


MMP9 is a member of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are zinc-dependent endopeptidases. It has been found to associate with many types of cancers and investigated as a potential drug target.
 
ProMMP9 has a propeptide domain with a zinc ligating "cysteine switch" at the <scene name='40/400553/Pro_cat_motif/4'>active site</scene>, rendering the enzyme inactive until the propeptide is cleaved.
