Gene information for MMP23B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8510
Official gene symbolMMP23B
Full namematrix metallopeptidase 23B
Aliases,MIFR,MIFR-1,MMP22,MMP23A,
Gene summaryThis gene (MMP23B) encodes a member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, and it is part of a duplicated region of chromosome 1p36.3. Proteins of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family are involved in the breakdown of extracellular matrix in normal physiological processes, such as embryonic development, reproduction, and tissue remodeling, as well as in disease processes, such as arthritis and metastasis. This gene belongs to the more telomeric copy of the duplicated region. [provided by RefSeq]
