Summary: Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in collagen catabolic process; determination of heart left/right asymmetry; and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within coronary vasculature development; determination of left/right symmetry; and hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human MMP21 (matrix metallopeptidase 21).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
