Summary: Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Predicted to be involved in extracellular matrix organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within camera-type eye morphogenesis and endothelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 2. Orthologous to human COL8A2 (collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain).

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.
