An SNP variant MT1-MMP with a defect in its collagenolytic activity confers the fibrotic phenotype of Dupuytren’s Disease
2020-06-12
Abstract excerpt
Dupuytren’s Disease (DD) is a common fibroproliferative disease of the palmar fascia. We previously identified a strong association with a non-synonymous variant (rs1042704, pD273N) in MMP14 (encoding MT1-MMP). We investigated the functional consequences of this variant, and demonstrated that the variant MT1-MMP (MT1-N 273 ) exhibits only 17% of cell surface collagenolytic activity compared to the ancestral enzy...
