Mmp21 - matrix metallopeptidase 21 Gene

Also Known as b2b873Clo; b2b2458Clo

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 214766

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of extracellular matrix-degrading Enzymes that are involved in tissue remodeling, wound repair, progression of atherosclerosis and tumor invasion. Mice harboring certain mutations in this gene exhibit congenital heart defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
