Morphogenesis: collagen it takes and bone it makes.
The same enzyme is responsible for the activation of transforming growth factor-beta-like signalling molecules and the processing of fibrillar procollagens. This finding implicates a metalloendoprotease in the control of cell behavior and matrix assembly during morphogenesis.
