Summary: Predicted to enable integrin binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Involved in cell surface receptor signaling pathway; glomerular basement membrane development; and negative regulation of angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathway. Located in basement membrane. Part of collagen type IV trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; foregut; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal recessive Alport syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alport syndrome; autosomal dominant Alport syndrome; autosomal recessive Alport syndrome; benign familial hematuria; and end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human COL4A3 (collagen type IV 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.
