Summary: An extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within glomerular basement membrane development. Located in basement membrane. Part of collagen type IV trimer. Is expressed in embryo; glomerular tuft; and testis. Used to study autosomal recessive Alport syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive Alport syndrome; benign familial hematuria; and end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human COL4A4 (collagen type IV alpha 4 chain).

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.
