Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.2.0)

Enables metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in negative regulation of epithelial cell differentiation involved in kidney development and response to amyloid-beta. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including collagen catabolic process; embryo implantation; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Down syndrome; anodontia; artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human MMP9 (matrix metallopeptidase 9).
