Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) belong to a family of proteases that are essential for the breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM). They are thus important in apoptosis, tumor cell growth, invasion, and metastasis, as well as angiogenesis and wound healing. Most MMPs contain common domain structures that include a signal sequence, a propeptide, a catalytic domain, and a hemopexin like (Hpx) domain. MMP7, also known as Matrilysin, is responsible for hydrolyzing proteoglycans and ECM glycoproteins. It is expressed in normal cells, specifically glandular epithelial cells. MMP7, is thought to play an important role in the early steps of tumor progression. Expression of MMP2, MMP7 and MMP11 is greater in pancreatic carcinoma than in normal pancreas.Synonyms: MMP7, MPSL1, Matrilysin, Matrin, Matrix metalloproteinase-7, PUMP1, Pump-1 protease, Uterine metalloproteinase
