COL6A2 - collagen type VI alpha 2 chain Gene
Also Known as UCMD1; BTHLM1; PP3610
Species: Homo sapiens
About COL6A2
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 272 orthologues, 37 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 164.0), endometrium (RPKM 155.3) and 22 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI Collagen, a beaded filament Collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this Collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
