Gene:
collagen, type XIV, alpha 1 (undulin)
Gene ID:
197989
Symbol:
COL14A1
Species:
1000
Description:
Plays an adhesive role by integrating collagen bundles. It is probably associated with the surface of interstitial collagen fibrils via COL1. The COL2 domain may then serve as a rigid arm which sticks out from the fibril and protrudes the large N-terminal globular domain into the extracellular space, where it might interact with other matrix molecules or cell surface receptors (By similarity).
