    Summary
    Enables metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in proteolysis and sperm competition. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; epithelium; follicle cell; synaptic neuropil domain; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal arthrogryposis type 5D. Orthologous to human ECEL1 (endothelin converting enzyme like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
