TIMP4(TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 4) belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by the gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. The secreted, netrin domain-containing protein encoded by this gene is involved in regulation of platelet aggregation and recruitment and may play role in hormonal regulation and endometrial tissue remodeling.蛋白别名为:Metalloproteinase inhibitor 4 (Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 4) (TIMP-4);基因ID为:7079;蛋白质ID:Q99727
