Function

Cleaves collagens of types I, II, and III at one site in the helical domain. Also cleaves collagens of types VII and X (PubMed:1645757, PubMed:2153297, PubMed:2557822). In case of HIV infection, interacts and cleaves the secreted viral Tat protein, leading to a decrease in neuronal Tat's mediated neurotoxicity (PubMed:16807369).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

MMP1 also known as collagenase-1 is an enzyme belonging to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. It is responsible for the degradation of type I II and III collagens making it an important player in collagen turnover. MMP1 has a molecular weight of approximately 54 kDa. This enzyme is expressed in various tissues including skin lung and reproductive organs primarily during tissue remodeling and repair. Scientists often use MMP1 ELISA kits and MMP1 inhibitors to study its expression and activity levels.

Biological function summary

MMP1 plays a significant role in the modulation of the extracellular matrix. It facilitates cellular processes by breaking down structural proteins and allowing for cell migration proliferation and differentiation. Although it acts independently MMP1 works in harmony with other MMP family members to maintain extracellular matrix homeostasis and is often linked to tissue remodeling complexes. This makes the MMP1 a valuable target for researchers interested in tissue repair and fibrosis.

Pathways

Studies show MMP1 involvement in critical processes such as the inflammatory response and wound healing. In the inflammatory pathway MMP1 expression is regulated by cytokines that respond to tissue injury. Within the wound healing pathway this enzyme interacts with proteins like transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) to coordinate the repair process by remodeling extracellular matrix components. This illustrates the interconnected nature of MMP1 with significant regulatory proteins.

Associated diseases and disorders

MMP1 has significant associations with osteoarthritis and cancer metastasis. MMP1 contributes to the breakdown of cartilage in osteoarthritis highlighting its role in disease progression and joint degradation. In the context of cancer elevated MMP1 expression correlates with the metastatic potential where it assists tumor invasion by degrading the surrounding matrix. MMP1's involvement with other MMPs including MMP2 and MMP9 highlights its importance in these pathological conditions making it a therapeutic target in related research.
