[matrix metalloproteinase-23] The enzyme is known also as CA-MMP (Cysteine array matrix metalloproteinase). The protein possesses two novel sequence motifs not found in other matrix metalloproteinases: a cysteine array (Cys-X(6)-Cys-X(8)-Cys-X(10)-Cys-X(3)-Cys-X(2)-Cys), and a novel Ig-fold (Pei, 1999; Pei et al, 2000).
The cDNA encoding MMP-23 was cloned from an ovary cDNA library (Velasco et al, 1999). MMP-23 lacks a recognizable signal sequence and has a short prodomain. The C-terminal domain does not contain hemopexin domains found in most other human matrix metalloproteinases
