CAIX stimulates the activity of MMP14. Model for CAIX-mediated regulation of MMP14 activity. CAIX, which is upregulated in hypoxia, associates through its intracellular domain with MMP14 at functional invadopodia. At these invasive structures, CAIX functions to potentiate MMP14-mediated collagen degradation by directly contributing H+ ions required for MMP14 catalytic activity.
