  • Title: Inhibitor of human collagenase from cultures of human tendon.
    Author: Vater CA, Mainardi CL, Harris ED.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 1979 Apr 25; 254(8):3045-53. PubMed ID: 218961.
    Abstract:
    A potent inhibitor of human collagenases, released from human tendon explants in culture, has been purified and partially characterized. The tendon inhibitor has an estimated molecular weight of 25,000. It is relatively heat-stable but undergoes loss of activity following exposure to trypsin. It inhibits trypsin-activated rheumatoid synovial collagenase as well as the enzyme obtained from polymorphonuclear leukocytes. No inhibition of collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum (clostridiopeptidase A, EC 3.4.24.3) was noted. This collagenase inhibitor may be a factor in the regulation of extracellular connective tissue catabolism.
