Background
Matrix Metalloproteinase 12 also known as MMP12 is 1 of the main enzymes in the MMP family which is primarily produced by macrophages and neutrophils. MMP12 is implicated in the breakdown of elastin and in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as emphysema, COPD and atherosclerosis. MMP12 is upregulated and contributes to tissue remodeling in inflammatory responses which is essential for wound healing and immune defense. MMP12 catalyzes the cleavage of collagen, elastin and other ECM components. Its activity is regulated in normal tissues to avoid pathological degradation.
