MMP1
MMP1 (matrix metallopeptidase 1, interstitial collagenase) encodes a secreted zinc-dependent enzyme that cleaves fibrillar collagens types I and III, the main structural collagens of skin dermis. Promoter variants such as rs1799750 alter MMP1 expression level and are studied for their influence on collagen turnover, skin matrix remodeling, and photoaging.
