About Col8a1

Summary

Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Predicted to be involved in endodermal cell differentiation and extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within camera-type eye morphogenesis; epithelial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human COL8A1 (Collagen type VIII alpha 1 chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
