MMP15

MMP15 (Matrix Metallopeptidase 15): MMP15, part of the matrix metalloproteinase family, plays a significant role in the breakdown and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This enzyme is involved in various physiological processes, including wound healing, angiogenesis, and embryonic development, by regulating the composition of the ECM. MMP15's activity is critical for tissue repair and remodeling, but its dysregulation can contribute to pathological conditions such as cancer invasion and metastasis, fibrosis, and inflammatory diseases. The precise control of MMP15 activity highlights its importance in maintaining tissue integrity and its potential as a therapeutic target in ECM-related disorders....
