Biological function summary
MMP14 influences extracellular matrix degradation enabling cellular invasion and migration. It exists as a part of macromolecular complexes at the cell surface interacting with other metalloproteinases. This interaction assists in the activation of other MMPs such as pro-MMP2 which further amplify matrix remodeling activities. The hinge region of MMP14 lends flexibility allowing it to effectively engage with substrate proteins.
Pathways
MMP14 significantly affects cell signaling and tissue remodeling pathways. One critical pathway involves the activation of pro-MMP2 which is dependent on MMP14's proteolytic activity. MMP14 also plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis through its interaction with proteins such as TIMP-2. This relationship between MMP14 and other regulatory proteins emphasizes its functional integration within major biological networks.
