products description :
MMPs are a group of enzymes involved in matrix degradation. Of the sixteen members of matrix metalloproteinase family ten exist in soluble form whereas MT-MMPs exist as integral membrane proteins. MT1-MMP, MT2-MMP, MT3-MMP also known as MMP14, MMP15, MMP16 respectively, contain a C-terminal transmembrane domain anchoring them to the cell surface. They have an 8 amino acid insert in their catalytic domain. MT1-MMP cleaves progelatinase A (MMP-2) and progelatinase B to their active forms. MT2-MMP plays a minor role in activation of pro-MMP-2 to its active form in breast carcinomas. Co-expression of MT1-MMP and MT2-MMp in advanced stages of breast carcinomas is indicative of possible involvement of MT2-MMP in its metastasis.

ncbi 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 MMP's 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.
