	''MMP-8'', also called, ''Neutrophil collagenase'' or ''Collagenase 2'', is a zinc-dependent and calcium-dependent enzyme. It belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family which is involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. The gene coding this family is localized on the chromosome 11 of Homo sapiens .<ref>[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4317 "MMP8 matrix metallopeptidase 8 (neutrophil collagenase)"]</ref>		''MMP-8'', also called, ''Neutrophil collagenase'' or ''Collagenase 2'', is a zinc-dependent and calcium-dependent enzyme.
