Tissue Specificity | Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, ovary and small intestine. Isoform Short is found in the ovary. |
Post Translational Modifications | The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase. |
Function | Endopeptidase that degrades various components of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen type III and fibronectin. Activates progelatinase A. Involved in the matrix remodeling of blood vessels. Isoform short cleaves fibronectin and also collagen type III, but at lower rate. It has no effect on type I, II, IV and V collagen. However, upon interaction with CSPG4, it may be involved in degradation and invasion of type I collagen by melanoma cells. |
