Overview

MMPs are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading connective tissue components. They have a common mode of activation, a conserved amino acid sequence in the putative metal binding‐active site region and are inhibited by specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). MMPa and TIMPs play a significant role in regulating angiogenesis. MMP‐ 2 is synthesized as a 631 amino acid proenzyme which is activated by cleavage of the first 80 amino acids. This antibody reacts with both latent and active MMP‐2.
