Background

Metalloproteinase inhibitor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TIMP3 gene. It is mapped to 22q12.1-q13.2. This gene belongs to the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases, a group of peptidases involved in degradation of theextracellular matrix (ECM) . Expression of this gene is induced in response to mitogenic stimulation and this netrin domain-containing protein is localized to the ECM. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the autosomal dominant disorder Sorsby's fundus dystrophy.
