Summary | This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes that are involved in tissue remodeling, wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis and tumor invasion. The encoded precursor undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a mature, zinc-dependent endopeptidase enzyme. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]. |
