Gene information for COL16A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1307
Official gene symbolCOL16A1
Full namecollagen, type XVI, alpha 1
Aliases,447AA,FP1572,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the alpha chain of type XVI collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices). Members of this collagen family are found in association with fibril-forming collagens such as type I and II, and serve to maintain the integrity of the extracellular matrix. High levels of type XVI collagen have been found in fibroblasts and keratinocytes, and in smooth muscle and amnion. [provided by RefSeq]
