MMP14

MMP14

A gene on chromosome 14q11-q12 that encodes matrix metalloproteinase 14, which specifically activates progelatinase A. It may be involved in actin cytoskeleton reorganisation by cleaving PTK7. Unlike other matrix metalloproteinases, which are secreted as inactive proproteins and activated when cleaved by extracellular proteinases, MMP14 is a transmembrane protein that is activated from its precursor by furin endopeptidase cleavage.

Molecular pathology
MMP14 may trigger invasion by tumour cells by activating progelatinase A on the surface of tumour cells.

The inflammation process is boosted by chemokines and cytokines such as NF-kB and components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as macrophages, fibroblasts, and mast cells that may negatively influence the structure of ECM through the production of proteases, MMP2, and MMP14 that have shown elevated expression in situ, responding to invasive carcinoma transition (ICT).
