Disease relevance of MMP24

 

High impact information on MMP24

  • Despite their difference in mediating proMMP-2 activation in transfected cells, the CAT of MT6-MMP appears to be as efficient as that of MT5-MMP in cleaving proMMP-2EA in buffer, suggesting that its CAT is a strong proMMP-2 activator [5].
  • On the basis of these features, this novel human MMP has been called MT5-MMP because it represents the fifth member of the MT-MMP subfamily of MMPs [2].
  • Northern blot analysis demonstrated that MT5-MMP is predominantly expressed in brain, kidney, pancreas, and lung [2].
  • In addition, MT5-MMP transcripts were detected at high levels compared to normal brain tissue in a series of brain tumors, including astrocytomas and glioblastomas [2].
  • Furthermore, the tubular epithelial cells that expressed MT5-MMP were associated with tubular atrophy [1].
 

Biological context of MMP24

  • Here we report on mRNA and protein expression of the fifth human MT-MMP (MT5-MMP), a 64-kDa protein that is capable of converting pro-MMP-2 to its active form, in human kidney as well as its upregulation in diabetes [1].
  • cDNA clones of MT5-matrix metalloproteinase (MT5-MMP) and a related protein (designated MT5-MMP-del) were isolated by screening the cDNA library and by 3'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends using an ovary RNA of the medaka fish Oryzias latipes [6].
