Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Acts upstream of or within neuron apoptotic process; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and response to UV. Located in extracellular matrix; extracellular space; and sarcolemma. Part of collagen trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; and musculoskeletal system. Used to study Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy and congenital muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); chronic kidney disease; dystonia 27; muscular dystrophy (multiple); and primary open angle glaucoma. Orthologous to human COL6A3 (collagen type VI alpha 3 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.
