UniProt functional annotation for P21692

UniProt code: P21692.

Organism: Sus scrofa (Pig).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Suina; Suidae; Sus.
 
Function: Cleaves collagens of types I, II, and III at one site in the helical domain. Also cleaves collagens of types VII and X.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Cleavage of the triple helix of collagen at about three- quarters of the length of the molecule from the N-terminus, at 775- Gly-|-Ile-776 in the alpha-1(I) chain. Cleaves synthetic substrates and alpha-macroglobulins at bonds where P1' is a hydrophobic residue.; EC=3.4.24.7;
Cofactor: Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 4 Ca(2+) ions per subunit.;
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.;
Activity regulation: Can be activated without removal of the activation peptide.
Subcellular location: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation- peptide release activates the enzyme.
Ptm: Undergoes autolytic cleavage to produce a N-terminal fragment having reduced collagenolytic activity.
Ptm: Tyrosine phosphorylated in platelets by PKDCC/VLK. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P03956}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. {ECO:0000305}.
