Gene information for COL9A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1298
Official gene symbolCOL9A2
Full namecollagen, type IX, alpha 2
Aliases,DJ39G22.4,EDM2,MED,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. [provided by RefSeq]
