Target Information
72 kDa Type IV collagenase, also known as matrix metallopeptidase 2, is encoded by the MMP2 gene in chickens. MMP-2 is expressed when neural crest cells detach from the neural epithelium during epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), but is rapidly silenced as they disperse. Research in the chicken embryo has shown that MMP-2 plays a role in cell motility during EMT and later morphogenesis.
