E219A | site-directed mutagenesis, catalytically inactive mutant | Homo sapiens |
additional information | overexpression of wild-type MMP-3 results in an increase in the 35 kD caspase-9 accompanied by increased caspase-9 enzymatic activity, while overexpression of mutant E219A cDNA that produces enzymatically inactive MMP-3, yields no apparent change | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | the enzyme can act inside the cell to trigger apoptosis in response to various cell stresses in dopaminergic neuronal cells. Enzyme MMP-3 activity leads to caspase-3 activation in apoptotic signaling acting upstream of caspase-9. The enzyme MMP-3 is required for the cleavage of procaspase-9 to the enzymatically active caspase-9 | Homo sapiens |
