Human Gene MMP19 (ENST00000322569.9_8) from GENCODE V47lift37
Description: Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as aggrecan and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (comp), during development, haemostasis and pathological conditions (arthritic disease). May also play a role in neovascularization or angiogenesis. Hydrolyzes collagen type IV, laminin, nidogen, nascin-C isoform, fibronectin, and type I gelatin.

ID:MMP19_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Matrix metalloproteinase-19; Short=MMP-19; EC=3.4.24.-; AltName: Full=Matrix metalloproteinase RASI; AltName: Full=Matrix metalloproteinase-18; Short=MMP-18; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as aggrecan and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (comp), during development, haemostasis and pathological conditions (arthritic disease). May also play a role in neovascularization or angiogenesis. Hydrolyzes collagen type IV, laminin, nidogen, nascin-C isoform, fibronectin, and type I gelatin. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cleaves aggrecan at the 360-Ser-|-Phe-361 site. COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit (By similarity). COFACTOR: Calcium (By similarity). ENZYME REGULATION: Strongly inhibited by TIMP-2, TIMP-3 and TIMP- 4, while TIMP-1 is less efficient. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in mammary gland, placenta, lung, pancreas, ovary, small intestine, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis colon, heart and blood vessel walls. Not detected in brain and peripheral blood leukocytes. Also expressed in the synovial fluid of normal and rheumatoid patients. 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: Activated by autolytic cleavage after Lys-97. DISEASE: Note=May play a role in pathological processes participating in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-associated joint tissue destruction. Autoantigen anti-MMP19 are frequent in RA patients. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase M10A family. SIMILARITY: Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAC99995.1; Type=Erroneous translation; Note=Wrong choice of CDS; WEB RESOURCE: Name=NIEHS-SNPs; URL="http://egp.gs.washington.edu/data/mmp19/";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
