매트릭스 메탈로프로테이나아제(MMP) 패밀리의 단백질은 관절염이나 전이 등의 질병 과정뿐만 아니라 배아 발달, 생식, 조직 리모델링 등의 정상적인 생리 과정에서도 세포외 매트릭스의 분해에 관여한다.대부분의 MMP는 세포외 단백질 분해 효소에 의해 분해될 때 활성화되는 비활성 프로단백질로 분비된다.이 유전자에 의해 코드된 단백질은 막형 MMP(Membrane-Type MMP) 서브패밀리의 멤버로 간주됩니다.MMP17 및 MMP25는 현재 GPI 앵커 멤브레인 MMP와 달리 유일하게 알려진 MMP입니다.단백질은 분할에 [6]의해 MMP2를 활성화한다.
