Description
Description: MMP8 Can degrade fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens. Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Function: Can degrade fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens.
Similarity: The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme. Belongs to the peptidase M10A family
