Enables peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within collagen fibril organization. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis; primary progressive multiple sclerosis; and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
