Target Information
Equine 72 kDa type IV collagenase, also known as matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2), is a key enzyme in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in physiological processes such as tissue remodeling and repair. It is secreted as a latent proenzyme and requires activation to function, which involves the conversion of the latent form into a catalytically active form. This enzyme plays a central role in proteolytic remodeling of the extracellular matrix and is implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including wound healing, angiogenesis, and the progression of diseases such as arthritis and cancer.
