Col24a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
This gene encodes the alpha-1 subunit of type XXIV collagen, one of the low abundance fibril-forming collagens found in cartilage. The encoded protein has structural features of invertebrate fibrillar collagens and is expressed predominantly in bone tissue. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

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 mouse Col24a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
