Mmp14 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables integrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to genistein; gonad development; and negative regulation of focal adhesion assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytosol; intermediate filament cytoskeleton; and macropinosome. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Used to study ischemia. Biomarker of IgA glomerulonephritis; anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; artery disease (multiple); cerebrovascular disease (multiple); and congestive heart failure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Winchester syndrome; esophagus adenocarcinoma; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human MMP14 (matrix metallopeptidase 14).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Mmp14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
