Caenorhabditis elegans Enables metallopeptidase activity. Involved in basement membrane disassembly. Located in cell surface. Expressed in several structures, including P6.paal; P6.paar; P6.papl; gonad; and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer and transitional cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human MMP15 (matrix metallopeptidase 15) and MMP24 (matrix metallopeptidase 24).
