Gene Symbol:

Mmp20 Mus musculus

Full name:

matrix metallopeptidase 20 (enamelysin)

Synonyms:

matrix metalloproteinase-20, enamel metalloproteinase, matrix metalloproteinase 20 (enamelysin)

Genomic Location:

Chr 9: 7628231-7674968

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins. This gene is expressed specifically in the ameloblasts and odontoblasts, and the encoded protein is an inactive zymogen that requires proteolytic removal of a N-terminal propeptide to become enzymati...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins. This gene is expressed specifically in the ameloblasts and odontoblasts, and the encoded protein is an inactive zymogen that requires proteolytic removal of a N-terminal propeptide to become enzymatically active. Mice lacking the encoded protein display an amelogenesis imperfecta phenotype.
