Matrix metalloproteinase-25 (MMP-25) belongs to the membrane-anchored matrix metalloproteinase subfamily. It is produced as a 57-60kDa monomer and is later expressed as a homodimer of 120kDa. This glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored metalloproteinase is expressed in the polymorphonuclear neutrophils. MMP-25 possesses an extracellular prodomain along with other functional domains. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 16p13.3.
Specificity
By immunoblotting against the reduced protein, the antibody identifies a band at 65 kDa as well as breakdown products. The antibody recognizes the zymogen and not activated forms of the enzyme.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the propeptide region of human matrix metalloproteinase-25 (membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-6).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Matrix metalloproteinase-25 (MMP-25) acts as a marker for chronic respiratory diseases. Studies have indicated that MMP-25 can degrade fibrin, fibronectin, gelatin and type IV collagen. It may have a role in the degradation of the pericellular extracellular matrix.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline containing 50% glycerol and 0.05% sodium azide.

Ubiquitously expressed membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), an archetype member of the MMP family, binds tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), activates matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and stimulates cell migration in various cell types. In contrast with MT1-MMP, the structurally similar MT6-MMP

Approximately 4,000 babies with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) are born each year in the United States. Because NSCLP exhibits both etiologic and genetic heterogeneity, attempts to identify the underlying genetic causes have met with limited

MMP25 (MT6-MMP) is one of the two glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that have been suggested to play a role in pericellular proteolysis. However, its role in cancer is unknown, and its biochemical properties are not well established. Here we found

Leukolysin is a novel matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-25/MT-6) released mainly by granulocytic cells, primarily neutrophils, which are implicated in chronic airways inflammation. To determine if leukolysin might be a serum marker for atopic asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Three
