Col10a1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Involved in cartilage development and endochondral ossification. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Biomarker of degenerative disc disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and osteochondrodysplasia. Orthologous to human COL10A1 (collagen type X alpha 1 chain).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Col10a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NC1 domain
- BclA C-terminal domain
- Collagen triple helix repeat (20 copies)
- protein binding
- C1q domain
