Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; negative regulation of endothelial cell migration; and negative regulation of sprouting angiogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of melanocyte differentiation; proteolysis; and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular space. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Orthologous to human ADAMTS9 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
