Col8a2 - collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within camera-type eye morphogenesis and epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human COL8A2 (Collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain).
