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 have been designed to bind to the and inhibit the activity of MMP9.
ProMMP9 has a propeptide domain with a zinc ligating "cysteine switch" at the , rendering the enzyme inactive until the propeptide is cleaved.
