MMP-1

MMP1 (Matrix Metallopeptidase 1) belongs to the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Proteins in this 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. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This secreted protease breaks down the interstitial collagens, including types I, II, and III. The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11. Mutations in this gene are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diseases associated with MMP1 include Epidermolysis Bullosa Dystrophica, Autosomal Recessive and Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa.
