Summary: Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathway and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to amino acid stimulus. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen type IV trimer. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked deafness 6. Orthologous to human COL4A6 (collagen type IV alpha 6 chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
