Background: MMP-14/MT1-MMP

The first identified member of membrane type (MT) MMPs, MMP-14, also known as MT1-MMP, plays an important role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by being able to degrade type 1 collagen, activate pro-MMP-2 and process cell adhesion molecules such as CD44 and integrin alphav (1). MMP‑14 is therefore a key enzyme in many physiological and pathological processes such as angiogenesis and tumor invasion (2). Structurally, MMP-14 consists of the following domains: a pro domain containing the furin cleavage site, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, a hinge region, four hemopexin-like domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail (3). Recombinant human (rh) MMP-14, consists of the pro domain, catalytic domain, hinge region and hemopexin-like domains. Because it lacks the transmembrane domain, rhMMP-14 is secreted and purified as a soluble protein. The pro domain was engineered to contain an Arg108Pro mutation, which prevents activation by furin cleavage. Activation of rhMMP-14 occurs by treatment with rhTrypsin 3 as described in the Activity Assay Protocol.
