Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in testis. Weakly expressed in brain, kidney and heart. |
Post Translational Modifications | N-glycosylated. |
Function | Metalloprotease involved in sperm function, possibly by modulating the processes of fertilization and early embryonic development. Degrades a broad variety of small peptides with a preference for peptides shorter than 3 kDa containing neutral bulky aliphatic or aromatic amino acid residues. Shares the same substrate specificity with MME and cleaves peptides at the same amide bond. |
