Summary: Enables fibronectin binding activity and metallopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cell-matrix adhesion; cellular response to cytokine stimulus; and cellular response to iron(III) ion. Located in extracellular space. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; extracellular matrix of synaptic cleft; and postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Used to study artery disease (multiple); brain ischemia (multiple); congestive heart failure; glomerulosclerosis; and lung disease (multiple). Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); brain disease (multiple); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and kidney disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Down syndrome; anodontia; artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (multiple). Orthologous to human MMP9 (matrix metallopeptidase 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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.
