| Name |
neutrophil collagenase;
matrix metalloproteinase 8;
PMNL collagenase;
MMP-8

Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases);
Metalloendopeptidases

| Reaction(IUBMB) |
Cleavage of interstitial collagens in the triple helical domain. Unlike EC 3.4.24.7, interstitial collagenase, this enzyme cleaves type III collagen more slowly than type I
|
|---|
| Comment |
Similar to interstitial collagenase in specificity, but the product of a different gene and highly glycosylated. Stored in the specific granules of neutrophil leukocytes. In peptidase family M10 (interstitial collagenase family). Formerly included in EC 3.4.24.7
