Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a zinc-metallopeptidase. The encoded protein may play a role in cell migration and invasion. Studies of a similar protein in Drosophila indicate a potential role in mitotic progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009].
UniProt Summary: Metalloprotease essential for the coordination of mitotic progression, and also plays a role in cell migration. {ECO:0000250}.
