GELB, CLG4B, MMP-9, MANDP2, Matrix metalloproteinase-9, 92 kDa gelatinase, 92 kDa type IV collagenase, Gelatinase B, MMP9
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.
