| Background Information | MT1-MMP plays an important role during endothelial cell migration and matrix remodeling. Although the role of MT1-MMP in endothelial cell motility is not fully characterized, its activity appears to modulate endothelial migration, invasion, and formation of capillary tubes during the angiogenic response (Galvez, 2001). Mt1-MMP also appears to play a key role in monocyte revruitment during inflammation (Salomon, 2005). |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. Most MMPs are secreted as inactive proproteins which are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. However, the protein encoded by this gene is a member of the membrane-type MMP (MT-MMP) subfamily; each member of this subfamily contains a potential transmembrane domain suggesting that these proteins are expressed at the cell surface rather than secreted. This protein activates MMP2 protein, and this activity may be involved in tumor invasion. |

| UniProt Number |
|
| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P50281 # Seems to specifically activate progelatinase A. May thus trigger invasion by tumor cells by activating progelatinase A on the tumor cell surface. COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit (By similarity). & Calcium (By similarity). SIZE: 582 amino acids; 65884 Da SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (Potential). Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: In stromal cells of colon, breast, and head and neck. DOMAIN: SwissProt: P50281 The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. & Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains. |
