Gene:
tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 4
Gene ID:
202506
Symbol:
TIMP4
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. The protein encoded by this gene may function in a tissue-specific fashion in extracellular matrix homeostasis.
