This gene encodes an astacin-like zinc-dependent metalloprotease and is a subfamily member of the metzincin family. A similar protein in mice is required during heart development and specifically processes procollagen C-propeptides and chordin at similar cleavage sites.[6]
In clinical context, TLL1 was mostly associated with atrial septal defect in an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance of loss-of-function mutations.[7] However, functional studies have also linked its gain-of-function with mitral valve prolapse.[8]
