Cloning of MMP‐26
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
A cDNA encoding a novel human matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), named MMP-26, was cloned from fetal cDNA. The deduced 261-amino-acid sequence is homologous to macrophage metalloelastase (51.8% identity). It includes only the minimal characteristic features of the MMP family: a signal peptide, a prodomain and a catalytic domain. As with MMP-7, this new MMP does not comprise the hemopexin domain, which is believed to...
