motifs/domains
  • a prodomain with a cysteine residue,essential for latency and involved in autocatalytic activation
  • a catalytic domain with the zinc binding site (the cysteine switch)
  • a hinge region
  • a furin activation sequence
  • a GPI anchor domain
  • conjugated GlycoP , MetalloP
    isoforms Precursor two forms 67 and 71kDa

    FAMILY 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

    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
