Matrix metalloproteinase-16

The matrix metalloproteinase 16 (MMP16) protein consists of 604 amino acids and has a characteristic MMP domain structure, which gene is mapped on human chromosome 8q21. Additionally, MMP16 has a C-terminal extension containing a potential transmembrane domain, similar to MMP14 , MMP15 , and MMP17. Furthermore, it is membrane-bound and is a member of the membrane-type MMPs that are a subclass in the MMP family since the other members lack a C-terminal transmembrane domain and are secreted as soluble forms. MMP16 is expressed as a 12-kb transcript in brain, placenta, heart, and some carcinoma cell lines, but is not detectably expressed in lung, kidney, liver, spleen, and muscle.

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl and 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.

Add 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug/ml.

Invasion/Microenvironment, Metalloprotease, Proteolysis/Ubiquitin, Proteolytic Enzymes

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.
