Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within amelogenesis; extracellular matrix disassembly; and protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in enamel organ; incisor; lower jaw molar; and upper jaw incisor. Used to study amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A2. Orthologous to human MMP20 (matrix metallopeptidase 20).
