Enables actin binding activity and metallocarboxypeptidase activity. Involved in negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration; and proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of endothelial cell migration; negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and negative regulation of lymphangiogenesis. Located in apical part of cell; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular space. Implicated in liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Biomarker of liver cirrhosis.
