Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP, also called MMP14) is one of the significant cell invasion drivers. MT1-MMP has been shown to play a crucial role in cancer invasion, cartilage degradation in rheumatoid arthritis, angiogenesis, and collagen homeostasis in different stromal tissues. Thus, investigating MT1-MMP activities in different cell types is of interest to investigators in different research fields. Several methods are available to assess the unique biological activity of MT1-MMP in the cells. This chapter describes various cell-based assays to evaluate unique MT1-MMP activity.
