Did you mean Matrix Metalloproteinase-1?

GlossaryMatrix Metalloproteinase-1

enzyme that breaks down collagen in connective tissues

Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), also known as interstitial collagenase, is an enzyme that breaks down collagen, a key structural protein in the skin and other connective tissues. This process is crucial for normal tissue remodeling and repair, but excessive MMP-1 activity can contribute to conditions like skin aging and certain diseases by degrading too much collagen.
