Summary | This gene encodes the alpha-1 subunit of type XXIV collagen, one of the low abundance fibril-forming collagens found in cartilage. The encoded protein has structural features of invertebrate fibrillar collagens and is expressed predominantly in bone tissue. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]. |
