A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 2, ADAM-TS 2, ADAM-TS2, ADAMTS-2, Procollagen I N-proteinase, PC I-NP, Procollagen I/II amino propeptide-processing enzyme, Procollagen N-endopeptidase, pNPI, ADAMTS2, PCINP, PCPNI
Cleaves the propeptides of type I and II collagen prior to fibril assembly. Does not act on type III collagen. May also play a role in development that is independent of its role in collagen biosynthesis.
