Gene

COL8A1

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
COL8A1
Name
collagen type VIII alpha 1 chain
Synonyms
  • C3orf7
  • cell proliferation-inducing protein 41
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Involved in endodermal cell differentiation. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix.
RGD Description
This 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 protein have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
