Safe and effective subcutaneous adipolysis in minipigs by a collagenase derivative.

Adipocytes attached to the extracellular matrix (ECM) mainly consist of collagen in adipose tissues, while the degradation of ECM by collagenase induces the apoptosis of adipocytes, leading to a decrease in local subcutaneous adipose. To achieve this goal, we are developing a mutant collagenase H (C...
