Background

MMP-12, also known as macrophage elastase, is a zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidase expressed constitutively in macrophages and can be induced in monocytes. MMP-12 can degrade a broad spectrum of substrates, including type IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin, vitronectin, proteoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, myelin basic protein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and plasminogen. It can also activate MMP-2 and MMP-3. The MMP-12 precursor consists of a pro domain, a catalytic domain containing the zinc-binding site, and a C-terminal hemopexin-like domain.
