COL6A2 - collagen type VI alpha 2 chain Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as UCMD1; BTHLM1; PP3610

Gene ID: 1292 | Gene type: protein coding

About COL6A2

Cytogenetic location: 21q22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:46,098,112-46,132,848 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 272 orthologues, 37 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 164.0), endometrium (RPKM 155.3) and 22 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
