Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including collagen biosynthetic process; positive regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway; and vascular endothelial growth factor production. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and protein processing. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hennekam syndrome. Orthologous to human ADAMTS3 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 3).
