This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K783 MMP-3 Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit. K783-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab118972.
The matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3, stromelysin-1) exhibits a number of activities that would make it a particularly good tumor promoter. Like several other MMPs, MMP-3 was first cloned and later recloned as a cancer-specific gene. In addition to degrading numerous extracellular matrix components, MMP-3 can activate gelatinase B, the collagenases and several serpin-type serine proteinase inhibitors. Moreover, it can release a number of cell surface molecules, including E-cadherin, a known contributor to cancer development.

- Activity summary
MMP3 also known as stromelysin-1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. These proteins are zinc-dependent endopeptidases. MMP3 specifically has a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa and is responsible for degrading extracellular matrix components such as collagen fibronectin and laminin. MMP3 is expressed in various tissues including fibroblasts chondrocytes and endothelial cells. It plays a significant role in tissue remodeling wound healing and potentially aids in the breakdown of cellular matrices.
- Biological function summary
MMP3 contributes to multiple physiological and pathological processes. It supports the remodeling of connective tissues and assists in normal developmental processes. MMP3 can work as part of a complex with other MMP proteins which can enhance or inhibit its activity. The balance of MMPs including MMP3 regulates the extracellular matrix turnover and is important for maintaining tissue homeostasis.
- Pathways
MMP3 participates in pathways involved in tissue remodeling and inflammatory responses. It is part of cellular pathways regulated by cytokines like interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). These pathways link MMP3 to other proteins such as MMP1 and MMP9 which perform overlapping and distinct roles in matrix degradation during inflammation and tissue repair.
- Associated diseases and disorders
MMP3 is implicated in conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. MMP3 contributes to cartilage degradation in rheumatoid arthritis and is associated with the breakdown of vascular structures in atherosclerosis. Proteins like MMP9 and MMP13 often interact with MMP3 in these pathological conditions forming a network that exacerbates tissue damage and disease progression.
