| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) breaks down proteoglycans, collagen type IV and laminin. Its main substrate is elastin. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | MMP-12 degrades general matrix components and may have a role in processes such as host defense, cell proliferation, and protein turnover as well as tissue remodeling. |
| General description: | Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) is also called as macrophage metalloelastase and is secreted by inflammatory macrophages. It is synthesized as a zymogen and then activated by cleaving the propeptide domain. The MMP-12 gene is localized on chromosome 11. |
