Interstitial collagenase, also known as fibroblast collagenase and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP1gene.[1][2][3][4] The gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes which localize to chromosome 11q22.3.[2] MMP-1 was the first vertebrate collagenase both purified to homogeneity as a protein, and cloned as a cDNA.[5][6] MMP-1 has an estimated molecular mass of 54 kDa.[7]
