Function |
May play an essential role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix and in leukocyte migration. Could play a role in bone osteoclastic resorption. Cleaves KiSS1 at a Gly-|-Leu bond. Cleaves type IV and type V collagen into large C-terminal three quarter fragments and shorter N-terminal one quarter fragments. Degrades fibronectin but not laminin or Pz-peptide. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1480034}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000305}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Produced by normal alveolar macrophages and granulocytes.
