Abstract excerpt
Like most metalloproteases, matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP-2) is synthesized as a zymogen. MMP-2 propeptide plays a role in inhibition of catalytic activity through a cysteine-zinc ion pairing, disruption of which results in full enzyme activation. A variety of proteases have been shown to be invo...
