Mmp1

Enables peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; female gonad development; and positive regulation of cell migration. Located in extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); degenerative disc disease; liver cirrhosis; pulmonary fibrosis; and ulcerative colitis. Biomarker of several diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; liver cirrhosis; scoliosis; tendinitis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple); obstructive lung disease (multiple); and urinary system cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MMP1 (matrix metallopeptidase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Mmp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
