Metalloproteinase - Wikipedia
A metalloproteinase, or metalloprotease, is any protease enzyme whose catalytic mechanism involves a metal. An example is ADAM12 which plays a significant role in the fusion of muscle cells during embryo development, in a process known as myogenesis .

Background . Thermolysin (TLN; EC 3.4.24.27, Figure 1) is a 34.6 kDa Zn 2+-endopeptidase secreted by the bacterium Bacillus thermoproteolyticus. 8,9 TLN and TLN-like proteins are used by bacteria to break down exogenous proteins for nutrition and as virulence factors aiding in host colonization and tissue degradation. 10,11 TLN is active in the hydrolysis of internal peptide …

Metalloprotease-mediated ligand release from the surface of the carcinoma cell regulates autocrine signaling. MMPs and ADAM-like proteases with thrombospondin domains (ADAM-TS) are secreted proteases, the best-known substrates of which are extracellular matrix proteins.
Physiology and pathophysiology of matrix metalloproteases
MMP-1 or collagenase-1 was the first described matrix metalloprotease and has sparked a large volume of research on the physiological and pathological role of MMPs. MMP-1 is a secreted enzyme and contains the hemopexin-like domain necessary for degradation of …
