Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within collagen fibril organization. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis; primary progressive multiple sclerosis; and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human ADAMTS14 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
