COL12A1 collagen type XII alpha 1 chain

Gene ID: 1303, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: UCMD2; BTHLM2; EDSMYP; COL12A1L; BA209D8.1; DJ234P15.1

Summary

This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XII collagen, a member of the FACIT (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) collagen family. Type XII collagen is a homotrimer found in association with type I collagen, an association that is thought to modify the interactions between collagen I fibrils and the surrounding matrix. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
