Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to UV-A; collagen catabolic process; and positive regulation of cell migration. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple); obstructive lung disease (multiple); and urinary system cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MMP1 (matrix metallopeptidase 1).
