COL16A1 collagen type XVI alpha 1 chain

Gene ID: 1307, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: 447AA; FP1572

Summary

This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XVI collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices). Members of this collagen family are found in association with fibril-forming collagens such as type I and II, and serve to maintain the integrity of the extracellular matrix. High levels of type XVI collagen have been found in fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and in smooth muscle and amnion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
