Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in chondrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of collagen type IX trimer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Stickler syndrome; multiple epiphyseal dysplasia 6; and osteochondrodysplasia. Orthologous to human COL9A1 (collagen type IX alpha 1 chain).
