(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1295
Official gene symbolCOL8A1
Full namecollagen, type VIII, alpha 1
Aliases,C3orf7,MGC9568,
Gene summaryThis 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 isoform have been observed. [provided by RefSeq]
