GELATINASE A (FULL-LENGTH)

OverviewOverview
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) catalyze extracellular matrix, degradation. Control of their activity is a promising target for therapy, of diseases characterized by abnormal connective tissue turnover. MMPs are, expressed as latent proenzymes that are activated by proteolytic cleavage, that triggers a conformational change in the propeptide (cysteine switch)., The structure of proMMP-2 reveals how the propeptide shields the catalytic, cleft and that the cysteine switch may operate through cleavage of loops, essential for propeptide stability.
