MeSH definition : A transmembrane domain-containing matrix metalloproteinase. It is synthesized as an
inactive zymogen that is activated by the action of PROPROTEIN CONVERTASES such as
FURIN. Matrix metalloproteinase 14 plays a direct role in the cleavage of proteins
in the pericellular environment. In addition, it can function indirectly by enzymatically
activating the proprotein form of MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE 15.;
