disease:Defects in TIMP3 are the cause of Sorsby fundus dystrophy (SFD) [MIM:136900]. SFD is a rare autosomal dominant macular disorder with an age of onset in the fourth decade. It is characterized by loss of central vision from subretinal neovascularization and atrophy of the ocular tissues. Generally, macular disciform degeneration develops in the patients eye within 6 months to 6 years.,function:Complexes with metalloproteinases (such as collagenases) and irreversibly inactivates them. May form part of a tissue-specific acute response to remodeling stimuli. Known to act on MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-13, MMP-14 and MMP-15.,online information:Retina International's Scientific Newsletter,similarity:Belongs to the protease inhibitor I35 (TIMP) family.,similarity:Contains 1 NTR domain.,
