Matrix Metalloproteinase 3

An extracellular endopeptidase of vertebrate tissues similar to MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE 1. It digests PROTEOGLYCAN; FIBRONECTIN; COLLAGEN types III, IV, V, and IX, and activates procollagenase. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992)

Also Known As:

Stromelysin 1; Stromelysin; MMP-3 Metalloproteinase; MMP3 Metalloproteinase; MMP 3 Metalloproteinase; Metalloproteinase 3, Matrix; Metalloproteinase, MMP-3; Metalloproteinase, MMP3; Transin
