| 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}. | |
