Definition: Family of 25 zinc‑dependent extracellular endopeptidases, which differ widely in substrate preferences, such as collagens, elastins and proteoglycans.
MMPs are a key biomarker in wound healing and are part of the larger family of metalloproteinase enzymes that play important roles in wound healing and several aspects of the normal wound healing process.
