Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen type III and fibronectin. Activates progelatinase A. Involved in the matrix remodeling of blood vessels. Isoform short cleaves fibronectin and also collagen type III, but at lower rate. It has no effect on type I, II, IV and V collagen. However, upon interaction with CSPG4, it may be involved in degradation and invasion of type I collagen by melanoma cells.

MMP16 also known as MT3-MMP (membrane-type 3 matrix metalloproteinase) is an enzyme part of the matrix metalloproteinase family. It plays a mechanical role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components. MMP16 has a molecular mass of 66 kDa and has proteolytic activity that contributes to tissue remodeling processes. This protein is a membrane-bound enzyme expressed in several tissues including the brain lungs and placenta. In the central nervous system it aids in maintaining extracellular environment by breaking down proteins.
MMP16 is essential in facilitating cellular activities such as migration invasion and angiogenesis. This protein operates as part of a complex that activates other MMPs including pro-MMP2 boosting their enzymatic activity. MMP16 participates in cellular remodeling by regulating the interactions between cells and their matrix which influences cell signaling and tissue morphogenesis.
MMP16 integrates into pathways relevant to extracellular matrix remodeling and cell signaling. It is actively involved in the Wnt and MAPK signaling pathways which influence various biological processes including development and cell proliferation. MMP16 also shows interactions with other MMP family members like MMP2 and MMP14 which collectively modulate the local microenvironment and cellular dynamics.
MMP16 is associated with cancer progression and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer its upregulation correlates with tumor invasion and metastasis owing to its role in degradation of the basement membrane. MMP16 also contributes to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's Disease by affecting synaptic functions and neuron survival. It interacts with proteins like APP involved in Alzheimer's linking MMP16 to amyloid beta peptide processing and aggregation.
