Adamts17 - a disintegrin-like and metallopeptidase (reprolysin type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 17

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in embryo and eye. Used to study Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Orthologous to human ADAMTS17 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
