  • Introduction

    Full-length recombinant human neutrophil MMP-8, latent form.
    Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8), degrades interstitial collagens, acting preferentially on collagen type I.
    Increased full-length MMP-8 protein was associated with infiltration into the skin of neutrophils, which are the major cell type that expresses MMP-8.
    MMP-8 is synthesized and stored in specific granules in neutrophil leukocytes. MMP-8 activity is therefore regulated by factors such as surface-bound ligands (IgG or complement components) that release it through degranulation.Once released and activated through proteolytic or oxidative mechanisms, MMP-8 plays a major role in the connective tissue turnover that accompanies inflammatory processes.
