Background: MMP-11

MMP-11, also called Stromelysin-3, is a metalloproteinase secreted by cells of mesenchymal origin. Human MMP-11 contains a 31 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 65 aa propeptide cleaved at a furin consensus sequence, and a 390 aa mature sequence with zinc metalloproteinase and hemopexin-like domains. The human 45 kDa mature MMP-11 shows 89% aa identity with mouse. An inducible low-abundance 40 kDa isoform is a constitutively active intracellular form. MMP-11 is upregulated in stromal cells near many invasive carcinomas, where it can cleave IGFBP, allowing IGF-1 to promote tumor cell growth.
