collagenasetypeii

Collagenase Type II, an endopeptidic matrix metalloproteinase MMP-8 derived from the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum, preferentially degrades type I collagen and is commonly used in tissues requiring high digestive efficiency such as pancreas and liver.

Collagenase Type III, an endopeptide matrix metalloproteinase MMP-13 derived from the bacterium Clostridium histolyticum, preferentially degrades type III collagen and is commonly used in sensitive tissues such as breast, tumor, and uterus due to its mild activity.
