ID 3.4.24.7 DE Interstitial collagenase. AN Matrix metalloproteinase 1. AN Vertebrate collagenase. CA Cleavage of the triple helix of collagen at about three-quarters of the CA length of the molecule from the N-terminus, at 775-Gly-|-Ile-776 in the CA alpha-1(I) chain. Cleaves synthetic substrates and alpha-macroglobulins CA at bonds where P1' is a hydrophobic residue. CF Zinc. CC -!- The enzyme takes its name from substrates of the interstitial CC collagen group - types I, II and III, all of which are cleaved in the CC helical domain. CC -!- Alpha-macroglobulins are cleaved much more rapidly. CC -!- The enzyme is widely distributed in vertebrate animals. CC -!- Belongs to peptidase family M10B.
