    basic FUNCTION
  • matrix metalloproteinase
  • pancreas and lung activator of MMP2
  • involved in neurogenesis
  • playing a role in the formation of endometriosis
  • essential mediator of peripheral thermal nociception and inflammatory hyperalgesia (Folgueras 2009)
  • plays an important role in cell-cell interactions between nociceptive neurites and mast cells (Folgueras 2009)
