Gene information for COL12A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1303
Official gene symbolCOL12A1
Full namecollagen, type XII, alpha 1
Aliases,BA209D8.1,COL12A1L,DJ234P15.1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the alpha chain of type XII collagen, a member of the FACIT (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) collagen family. Type XII collagen is a homotrimer found in association with type I collagen, an association that is thought to modify the interactions between collagen I fibrils and the surrounding matrix. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
