About COL8A1

Cytogenetic location: 3q12.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:99,638,594-99,799,217 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 239 orthologues and 23 paralogues. Biased expression in urinary bladder (RPKM 16.8), lung (RPKM 16.6) and 13 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of the two alpha chains of type VIII collagen. The gene product is a short chain collagen and a major component of the basement membrane of the corneal endothelium. The type VIII collagen fibril can be either a homo- or a heterotrimer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
