One of the CBI Molecules being studied in the University of Massachusetts Amherst Chemistry-Biology Interface Program at UMass Amherst and on display at the Molecular Playground. Molecular Playground banner: "MMP-14 allows for 3D in vitro cell migration"

Structure

Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is 1 of ~21 members of the human MMP family of endopeptidases. MMPs are zinc dependent proteinases that are capable of degrading virtually any extracellular matrix component. Inherently, this enables MMPs to be a key player in regulation of cell behavior.

There are 8 structure classes for MMPs, of which 5 are secreted molecules and 3 are membrane-type. MT1-MMP or also known as MMP-14 is covalently bound to the cell membrane and
