Gene: COL21A1
Alternate names for this Gene: COLA1L|FP633
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XXI collagen, a member of the FACIT (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices) collagen family. Type XXI collagen is localized to tissues containing type I collagen and maintains the integrity of the extracellular matrix. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p12.1|6p12.3-p11.2
Description of this Gene: collagen type XXI alpha 1 chain
Type of Gene: protein-coding
