MMP family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	MMP17 (MT4-MMP) and MMP25 (MT6-MMP), are anchored to the plasma membrane via a glycosyl-phosphatidyl inositol (GPI) anchor, which confers these enzymes a unique set of regulatory and functional mechanisms that separates them from the rest of the MMP family

basic FUNCTION	membrane type 4-matrix metalloproteinase
	involved in neurogenesis
	implicated in the control of articular cartilage extracellular matrix aggrecan integrity in an inflammatory environment
	key intrinsic tumor cell determinant that contributes to the elaboration of a permissive microenvironment for metastatic dissemination

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	zinc Zn2+

protein	binding TIMPs in a 1:1 stoechiometry
	SNAI2 regulated the transcription of MMP17 through direct binding to the E-box located in its proximal promoter
	implicated in the activation of one of the key aggrecanases: ADAMTS4
	SERPINE2 inhibits FURIN, a serine protease that activates MMP17 involved in the shedding of endothelial PROCR, suggesting a direct interaction between SERPINE2 and FURIN in endothelial cells
