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.
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.
Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) breaks down proteoglycans, collagen type IV and laminin. Its main substrate is elastin.
Unit Definition
One unit equals 100 pmol/min at 37 °C using the colorimetric thiopeptolide Ac-Pro-Leu-Gly-S-Leu-Leu-Gly-OEt as substrate.
Physical form
Solution in 50 mM Tris, 5 mM calcium chloride, 500 mM sodium chloride, 20 μM zinc chloride, 0.5% Brij® L23, and 30% glycerol, pH 9.5.

Human alveolar macrophages have the capacity to degrade elastin. As an approach to define proteinases responsible for this activity, we recently cloned a murine macrophage elastase cDNA and demonstrated that it is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family

Targeted mutagenesis has allowed investigators to perform controlled experiments in mammals and determine the contribution of individual proteins to physiologic and pathologic processes. Recent lessons learned from matrix metalloproteinase gene targeted mice and other in vivo observations have given new

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have begun to identify the common genetic component to ischaemic stroke (IS). However, IS has considerable phenotypic heterogeneity. Where clinical covariates explain a large fraction of disease risk, covariate informed designs can increase power to detect

Aortic dissection(AD) is an acute process of large blood vessels characterized by dangerous pathogenic conditions and high disability and high mortality. The pathogenesis of AD remains debated. Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) participates in many pathological processes such as abdominal aortic aneurysm
