The latent proenzyme of this metalloproteinase (29 kDa) was found in the conditioned medium of the human rectal carcinoma cell line CaR-1 (Miyazaki et al, 1990). The active enzyme (20 kDa) hydrolyzes casein more potently than gelatin. The activated proenzyme hydrolyzes fibronectin, laminin, basement membrane collagen type 4, and several types of gelatins but not interstitial collagen type 1 and collagen type 3. The enzyme is considered to be identical with pump-1 and thus is MMP-7 [matrix metalloproteinase-7].
