Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; lung; and male reproductive gland or organ. Orthologous to human ADAMTS18 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
