MMP3

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cell-matrix adhesion; cellular response to interleukin-1; and response to estradiol. Located in several cellular components, including cell body; dendrite; and extracellular space. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of several diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysm; degenerative disc disease; gastric ulcer; glomerulonephritis (multiple); and primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); end stage renal disease; osteoarthritis; and von Hippel-Lindau disease. Orthologous to human MMP3 (matrix metallopeptidase 3).
