Col8a1 - collagen type VIII alpha 1 chain Gene

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 304021

Summary

Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in endodermal cell differentiation and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within camera-type eye morphogenesis; epithelial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human COL8A1 (Collagen type VIII alpha 1 chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
