背景
MMP-14 (Matrix Metalloproteinase-14), also known as MT1-MMP (Membrane-Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase), is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is a membrane-bound protease that catalyzes the breakdown of various ECM components, such as collagens and gelatin, which is important for tissue remodeling, cell migration, and wound healing. MMP-14 is involved in physiological processes like embryogenesis, neurogenesis, and inflammation. Additionally, it has been implicated in pathological conditions such as cancer metastasis and arthritis, where abnormal MMP-14 activity can contribute to tissue destruction and disease progression.
