GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
COL6A5 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
COL29A1, FLJ35880, VWA4
Description
Collagen, type VI, alpha 5 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the collagen superfamily of proteins. The encoded protein contains multiple von Willebrand factor A-like domains and may interact with the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of collagen VI to form the complete collagen VI trimer. Polymorphisms in this gene may be linked to dermal phenotypes, such as eczema. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
