Mmp1 - matrix metallopeptidase 1

Enables peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; female gonad development; and positive regulation of cell migration. Located in cytoplasm and 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, Apr 2022]
