Adamts2 - ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 2

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; collagen fibril organization; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome dermatosparaxis type. Orthologous to human ADAMTS2 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
