MMP13 encodes a member of the peptidase M10 family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Collagenase 3 in this 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. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protease. This protease cleaves type II collagen more efficiently than types I and III. It may be involved in articular cartilage turnover and cartilage pathophysiology associated with osteoarthritis. Mutations in this gene are associated with metaphyseal anadysplasia. This gene is part of a cluster of MMP genes on chromosome 11.蛋白別名為：MMP13; Collagenase 3; Matrix metalloproteinase-13; MMP-13;基因ID為：4322；蛋白質ID:P45452
