Facts about Matrix metalloproteinase-24.
Key regulator of neural stem cells quiescence by mediating cleavage of CDH2, affecting CDH2-mediated anchorage of neural stem cells to ependymocytes in the adult subependymal zone, leading to modulate their quiescence. May play a role in axonal growth.

Predominantly expressed in brain, kidney, pancreas and lung. Overexpressed in a series of brain tumors, including astrocytomas and glioblastomas.
[Matrix metalloproteinase-24]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Recycled back to the plasma membrane through the trans-Golgi network via interaction with APBA3.; [Processed matrix metalloproteinase-24]: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Also shed from cell surface as soluble proteinase, by a proteolytic cleavage.
