p-Aminophenylmercuric acetate is an organomercurial activator of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP). It participates in the activation and inhibition of MMP-8 by attacking protein sulfhydryl or inducing cysteine switching reactions. It also promotes the shedding of betacellulin precursor (pro-BTC) and influences the binding of agonists and antagonists to the opiate receptor.
