ID   3.4.24.34
DE   neutrophil collagenase.
AN   matrix metalloproteinase 8.
CA   Cleavage of interstitial collagens in the triple helical domain. Unlike
CA   EC 3.4.24.7, this enzyme cleaves type III collagen more slowly than type
CA   I.
CC   -!- Similar to interstitial collagenase in specificity.
CC   -!- Stored in the specific granules of neutrophil leukocytes.
