Summary: An extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to amino acid stimulus; collagen-activated tyrosine kinase receptor signaling pathway; and extracellular matrix organization. Located in basement membrane. Part of collagen type IV trimer. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; meninges; oral region epithelium; sensory organ; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked deafness 6. Orthologous to human COL4A6 (collagen type IV alpha 6 chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Broad expression in bladder adult (RPKM 12.0), ovary adult (RPKM 3.7) and 15 other tissues See more

These findings indicate that alpha112:alpha556 (IV) network, which is the only network that includes the alpha6(IV) chain, is one regulator of KRT10 expression in keratinization of oral mucosal epithelium.
Title: Type IV collagen α6 chain is a regulator of keratin 10 in keratinization of oral mucosal epithelium.
although alpha5 and alpha6 (IV) chains are induced in the glomerular basement membrane in autosomal recessive Alport syndrome, their induction does not seem to play a major compensatory role
Title: COL4A6 is dispensable for autosomal recessive Alport syndrome.
In murine embryos, collagen IV subunits alpha1(IV), alpha2(IV), alpha5(IV) and alpha6(IV) were detected in the basement membrane surrounding the lens vesicle, and they persisted in the capsule until adulthood.
Title: Collagen IV in the developing lens capsule.
the proximal bifunctional promoter regulates the expression of the alpha5(IV) and alpha6(IV) genes in a cell-specific manner and demonstrates promoter plasticity in growth factor regulation of type IV collagen genes in different tissues of the body.
Title: Bifunctional promoter of type IV collagen COL4A5 and COL4A6 genes regulates the expression of alpha5 and alpha6 chains in a distinct cell-specific fashion.

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.
