Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)is a collagenase made up of two monomers. Collagenases are enzymes that break down the bonds in collagen. MMP-1 in humans is encoded by the MMP1 gene. Interestingly, MMP-1 was actually the first vertebrate collagenase that was both purified as a protein and cloned as cDNA [1]. | Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)is a collagenase made up of two monomers.
