The MMP stromelysin-3 shares many similarities with other MMPs but also has several unique properties. It has little expression in adult organs under normal physiological conditions but is upregulated in a number of pathological processes such as tumor invasion and may also be involved in tumor initiation. During mammalian development, ST3 is expressed in many processes involving cell migration and tissue morphogenesis, especially where cell death takes place.Synonyms: MMP11, Matrix metalloproteinase-11, SL-3, ST3, STMY3, Stromelysin-3
