GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
COL8A1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C3orf7, MGC9568
Description
Collagen, type VIII, alpha 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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]
