Structural highlights
Disease
[MMP3_HUMAN] Defects in MMP3 are the cause of susceptibility to coronary heart disease type 6 (CHDS6) [MIM:614466]. A multifactorial disease characterized by an imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the coronary vessels to supply sufficient blood flow. Decreased capacity of the coronary vessels is often associated with thickening and loss of elasticity of the coronary arteries. Note=A polymorphism in the MMP3 promoter region is associated with the risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, due to lower MMP3 proteolytic activity and higher extracellular matrix deposition in atherosclerotic lesions.[1] [2]
Function
[MMP3_HUMAN] Can degrade fibronectin, laminin, gelatins of type I, III, IV, and V; collagens III, IV, X, and IX, and cartilage proteoglycans. Activates procollagenase.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Potent and selective inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases was demonstrated for a series of sulfonamide-based hydroxamic acids. The design of the heterocyclic sulfonamides incorporates a six- or seven-member central ring with a P2' substituent that can be modified. Binding interactions of this substituent at the S2' site are believed to contribute to high inhibitory potency against stromelysin, collagenase-3 and gelatinases A and B, and to provide selectivity against collagenase-1 and matrilysin. An X-ray structure of a stromelysin inhibitor complex was obtained to provide insights into the SAR and selectivity trends observed for the series.
