matrix metallopeptidase 2 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables fibronectin binding activity and peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to estradiol stimulus; circulatory system development; and reproductive structure development. Located in extracellular space. Used to study artery disease (multiple); conjunctivitis; proteinuria; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; artery disease (multiple); bile duct disease (multiple); brain ischemia (multiple); and liver cirrhosis (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); pseudoxanthoma elasticum; and temporal arteritis. Orthologous to human MMP2 (matrix metallopeptidase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025] |
