Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** MMP8 is a serine-type endopeptidase that belongs to the matrix metalloproteinase family. It is primarily expressed in neutrophils, but also found in other cell types, such as goblet cells, myelocytes, and granulocytes. MMP8 is characterized by its ability to degrade collagen, elastin, and other ECM components, facilitating tissue remodeling and immune response. Its enzymatic activity is regulated by various factors, including zinc ions, which are essential for its catalytic function. **Pathways and Functions:** MMP8 is involved in various biological pathways, including: 1. **Extracellular Matrix Degradation:** MMP8 plays a critical role in the degradation of collagen and other ECM components, facilitating tissue remodeling and immune response. 2. **Neutrophil Degranulation:** MMP8 is released from neutrophils during degranulation, where it contributes to the breakdown of ECM and the clearance of pathogens. 3. **Immune System Activation:** MMP8 is involved in the activation of immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, and the regulation of immune response. 4. **Endopeptidase Activity:** MMP8 exhibits endopeptidase activity, cleaving various substrates, including growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. **Clinical Significance:** MMP8 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Periodontal Disease:** MMP8 has been associated with periodontal disease, where it contributes to the degradation of ECM and the progression of the disease. 2. **Rheumatoid Arthritis:** MMP8 has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, where it contributes to joint destruction and inflammation. 3. **Cancer:** MMP8 has been implicated in cancer progression, where it facilitates tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. 4. **Inflammatory Diseases:** MMP8 has been associated with inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where it contributes to airway remodeling and inflammation. In conclusion, MMP8 is a critical enzyme involved in the regulation of the extracellular matrix and immune response. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into its role in human health and disease.
