Gene: COL12A1
Alternate names for this Gene: BA209D8.1|BTHLM2|COL12A1L|DJ234P15.1|EDSMYP|UCMD2
Gene 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q13-q14.1
Description of this Gene: collagen type XII alpha 1 chain
Type of Gene: protein-coding
