Abstract
Collagen is one of the extremely hard to degrade structural matrix proteins. Collagenases are the enzymes which bring about the degradation of collagen into small peptides. The contribution of collagenases in several human diseases includes hyper production of collagenase while some diseases are originated due to inadequate amounts of collagenase in the body. The management of these diseases includes understanding of collagenase involvement and then developing the therapeutics for the treatment. This review focuses on the studies of different human diseases related to collagenases and discusses the strategies adapted to conquer them.
