Interstitial collagenase (EC 3.4.24.7 vertebrate collagenase matrix metalloproteinase 1) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction Cleavage of the triple helix of collagen at about three-quarters of the length of the molecule from the N-terminus at Gly775-Ile in the alpha1(I) chain. Cleaves synthetic substrates and alpha-macroglobulins at bonds where P1′ is a hydrophobic residueThis enzyme belongs to the peptidase family M10.
