Target data

Function

Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen (PubMed:8015608). Essential for pericellular collagenolysis and modeling of skeletal and extraskeletal connective tissues during development (By similarity). Activates progelatinase A/MMP2, thereby acting as a positive regulator of cell growth and migration (PubMed:22065321, PubMed:8015608). Involved in the formation of the fibrovascular tissues in association with pro-MMP2 (PubMed:12714657, PubMed:22065321). May be involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganization by cleaving PTK7 (PubMed:20837484). Acts as a regulator of Notch signaling by mediating cleavage and inhibition of DLL1 (PubMed:21572390). Cleaves ADGRB1 to release vasculostatin-40 which inhibits angiogenesis (PubMed:22330140). Acts as a negative regulator of the GDF15-GFRAL aversive response by mediating cleavage and inactivation of GFRAL (PubMed:35177851).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

Matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) also known as MT1-MMP is a membrane-bound enzyme involved in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix. This protease has a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa and consists of various structural domains including a catalytic domain and a hinge region. MMP14 is expressed in many tissues including the stromal and cancer cells where it facilitates cell migration and tissue remodeling.

Biological function summary

MMP14 influences extracellular matrix degradation enabling cellular invasion and migration. It exists as a part of macromolecular complexes at the cell surface interacting with other metalloproteinases. This interaction assists in the activation of other MMPs such as pro-MMP2 which further amplify matrix remodeling activities. The hinge region of MMP14 lends flexibility allowing it to effectively engage with substrate proteins.

Pathways

MMP14 significantly affects cell signaling and tissue remodeling pathways. One critical pathway involves the activation of pro-MMP2 which is dependent on MMP14's proteolytic activity. MMP14 also plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis through its interaction with proteins such as TIMP-2. This relationship between MMP14 and other regulatory proteins emphasizes its functional integration within major biological networks.

Associated diseases and disorders

High MMP14 levels correlate strongly with cancer progression especially in cancers such as breast cancer and melanoma. The ability of MMP14 to degrade the extracellular matrix facilitates tumor invasion and metastasis. Through its regulatory activities MMP14 connects with other proteins like VEGF influencing angiogenesis within tumor microenvironments. Additionally MMP14 involvement in arthritic conditions highlights its role in joint degradation processes worsening the disease through augmented cartilage breakdown.

    Erk(1/2) activation is highest in the parental Karpas 299 cell line. Cells (8 x 106) were grown in serum free media for 48 hrs, centrifuged at low speed to remove cells and debris, then at 100,000 x g for 1 hr. Vesicles were suspended in PBS and assayed for protein. Equal amounts of protein (5 μg) were loaded in each well of a 7.5% SDS gel. Following transfer to nitrocellulose, blots were probed with anti-MT1-MMP antibody (top) or anti-phospho-p44/42 MAPK antibody (middle), stripped, and reprobed with anti-p44/42 MAPK antibody (next to bottom). The blot was also probed with anti-α5 integrin antibody (bottom). Data are representative of two independent experiments.
