Further Information

Abbreviation:
MMP-2
Accession:
NP_004521.1
Activity:
1. Measured by its ability to cleave the fluorogenic peptide substrate Mca-PLGL-Dpa-AR-NH2 (AnaSpec, Catalog # 27076). The specific activity is > 1, 000 pmoles/min/ug. 2. Immobilized human MMP2 at 10 ug/mL (100 ul/well) can bind human TIMP2/Fc. The EC50 of human TIMP2/Fc is 0.02 ug/mL. (Activation description: The proenzyme needs to be activated by APMA for an activated form)
Background:
Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is an enzyme that degrades components of the extracellular matrix and thus plays a pivotal role in cell migration during physiological and pathological processes. MMP-2 expression is dependent on extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN); Her2/neu; growth factors; cytokines; and hormones. Pro-MMP-2 activation needs MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 contribution. MMP-2 is changed in distribution and increased in amount in the ventral cochlear nucleus after unilateral cochlear ablation. A low level of MMP-2 is linked to favorable prognosis in patients with a hormone receptor-negative tumor; usually associated with high risk. As a zymogen requiring proteolytic activation for catalytic activity; MMP-2 has been implicated broadly in the invasion and metastasis of many cancer model systems; including human breast cancer (HBC). Blocking MMP-2 secretion and activation during breast carcinoma development may decrease metastasis. The detection of active MMP-2 alone or the rate of pro-MMP-2 and active MMP-2 is considered a very sensitive indicator of cancer metastasis. Modulation of MMP-2 expression and activation through specific inhibitors and activators may thus provide a new mechanism for breast cancer treatment.
