| Official Name |
| Neutrophil collagenase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Matrix metalloproteinase 8. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| 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 |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Calcium; Zinc.
|
| Comment(s) |
- Similar to interstitial collagenase in specificity.
- Stored in the specific granules of neutrophil leukocytes.
- Belongs to peptidase family M10B.
