Neutrophil collagenase

Field	Value
Name	Neutrophil collagenase
EC_number	3.4.24.34
CAS_number	2593923

Neutrophil collagenase (, matrix metalloproteinase 8, PMNL collagenase, MMP-8) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: Cleavage of interstitial collagens in the triple helical domain. Unlike EC 3.4.24.7, interstitial collagenase, this enzyme cleaves type III collagen more slowly than type I

This enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M10.
