[Xenopus laevis collagenase-4] Stolow et al (1996) have isolated a matrix metalloproteinase gene from metamorphosing Xenopus laevis tadpoles. They refer to it as MMP-18, which itself has been renamed MMP-19. Sequence comparisons show that the Xenopus laevis collagenase-4 is not a homolog of any known collagenases (see also: XMMP).
The expression of this protein is regulated in a tissue-dependent manner during metamorphosis. The enzyme has an essentially identical enzymatic activity towards a collagen substrate as the human interstitial collagenase (MMP-1).
Damjanovski et al (2001) have reported that transgenic
