COL19A1, Official Symbol COL19A1provided by HGNC Official Full Name collagen type XIX alpha 1 chainprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:2196 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000082293 MIM:120165; AllianceGenome:HGNC:2196 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as COL9A1L; D6S228E Summary This gene encodes the alpha chain of type XIX collagen, a member of the FACIT collagen family (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted helices). Although the function of this collagen is not known, other 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. The transcript produced from this gene has an unusually large 3' UTR which has not been completely sequenced.
