Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in collagen catabolic process and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix and membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in dorsal uterine cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); arthritis (multiple); female reproductive organ cancer (multiple); obstructive lung disease (multiple); and scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including MMP16 (matrix metallopeptidase 16).
