Gene Symbol:

COL9A2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

collagen type IX alpha 2 chain

Synonyms:

DJ39G22.4, EDM2, MED, STL5, collagen alpha-2(IX) chain, alpha 2 type IX collagen, collagen IX, alpha-2 polypeptide, collagen, type IX, alpha 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 1: 40538750-40555526

Description:

This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attache...

View Full Description

This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type IX collagen, the major collagen component of hyaline cartilage. Type IX collagen, a heterotrimeric molecule, is usually found in tissues containing type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen. This chain is unusual in that, unlike the other two type IX alpha chains, it contains a covalently attached glycosaminoglycan side chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
