Leishmanolysin-like (metallopeptidase M8 family) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LMLN gene.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: Leishmanolysin-like (metallopeptidase M8 family) | url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/89782 }}
Function
This gene encodes a zinc-metallopeptidase. The encoded protein may play a role in cell migration and invasion. Studies of a similar protein in Drosophila indicate a potential role in mitotic progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009].
