Background

MMP26 (also known as matrilysin-2 or endometase) is a member of the large family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) responsible for the breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen. Most MMPs are secreted as inactive pro-proteins and are activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases. MMP26 cleaves collagen type IV, vitronectin, fibronectin, and fibrinogen, among others. It also cleaves MMP9 for activation. MMPs are involved in tissue remodeling and in the escape of metastatic cells from the primary tumor. They are candidate therapeutic targets in various diseases related to tissue remodeling including cancer.
