Adamts16 - ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, 16

Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Involved in male gamete generation; regulation of cilium assembly; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Used to study cryptorchidism; hypertension; and male infertility. Orthologous to human ADAMTS16 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
