| UniProt functional annotation for P22894 | |||
| UniProt code: P22894. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Can degrade fibrillar type I, II, and III collagens. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Cleavage of interstitial collagens in the triple helical domain. Unlike EC 3.4.24.7, this enzyme cleaves type III collagen more slowly than type I.; EC=3.4.24.34; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 3 Ca(2+) ions per subunit.; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Note=Binds 2 Zn(2+) ions per subunit.; | |
| Activity regulation: | Cannot be activated without removal of the activation peptide. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasmic granule. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000305}. Note=Stored in intracellular granules. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Neutrophils. | |
| 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. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
