MMP1 | matrix metallopeptidase 1 (interstitial collagenase); Cleaves collagens of types I, II, and III at one site in the helical domain. Also cleaves collagens of types VII and X. In case of HIV infection, interacts and cleaves the secreted viral Tat protein, leading to a decrease in neuronal Tat’s mediated neurotoxicity (469 aa) | |||
NFATC1 | nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic, calcineurin-dependent 1; Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 or IL-4 gene transcription.
